Question:

Choose the correct meaning of the foreign word from the options given below: 'DE JURE'

Options:

select

afresh

according to law

self love

Correct Answer:

according to law

Explanation:

The correct answer is OPTION 3 - according to law
The correct meaning of the foreign word "DE JURE" is "according to law".

The term "de jure" is a Latin phrase that means "by law" or "of right." It is used to describe something that is legally recognized or authorized, even if it is not actually happening in practice. For example, a government may be de jure, meaning that it is recognized as the legitimate government by other countries, even if it does not have actual control over the entire country.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • "Select" means to choose or decide on something.

  • "Afresh" means anew or starting over.

  • "Self-love" means narcissism or an excessive love of oneself.
