Question

Select the segment in which a word has been INCORRECTLY used.
He had an amazing capacity to condone up the most delectable dishes at a short notice.

A.

dishes at a short notice

B.

the most delectable

C.

He had an amazing

D.

capacity to condone up

Correct option is D

Option (d) contains an error.
Explanation:
· The incorrect phrase is “condone up”.
· “Condone” means to overlook or forgive an offense, and it cannot be used with "up" or in the context of cooking.
· The correct word should be "conjure up", which means to magically produce or create (especially food in informal context).
Grammatical rule used:
· Verb + particle combinations (phrasal verbs) must be semantically correct.
· “Conjure up” = to produce or make something appear quickly, often using imagination or skill.
Example:
✔ He could conjure up tasty meals from leftovers.
�� Important note:
· “Condone” ≠ “Conjure”
· “Condone” = forgive, overlook
· “Conjure up” = quickly and skillfully create
