Question:

Choose the correct meaning for the underlined word:

Trial has been adjourned SINE DIE

Options:

death happens because of sins

death postponed by Judge

trial stopped because of death

without any future date designated

Correct Answer:

without any future date designated

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → without any future date designated

  • Death happens because of sins: This does not fit the context of a trial being adjourned.
  • Death postponed by Judge: While it includes the term "death," it does not accurately convey the meaning of "SINE DIE" in the legal context of adjourning a trial.
  • Trial stopped because of death: This option is not related to the term "SINE DIE."
  • Without any future date designated: "SINE DIE" is a Latin legal term meaning "without a day specified," indicating that the adjournment is indefinite or without a set future date.

So, the correct meaning is that the trial has been adjourned indefinitely, without any specific date scheduled for it to reconvene.
