Question:

Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.

Children under five years are ______ from passport biometrics.

Options:

exempted

escaped

allowed

acquitted

Correct Answer:

exempted

Explanation:

The most appropriate option to fill in the blank is:

exempted

Explanation for all options:

  1. Exempted: This word means to be freed or released from a requirement or obligation. In the context of the sentence, it's saying that children under five years are not required to undergo passport biometrics.

  2. Escaped: This word doesn't fit the context. "Escaped" means to have gotten away from a dangerous situation or confinement, which is not relevant to passport biometrics.

  3. Allowed: This word doesn't convey the right meaning in this context. "Allowed" means giving permission to do something, but the sentence is discussing an exemption, not permission.

  4. Acquitted: This word is used in legal contexts and means being declared not guilty of a crime. It's not relevant to the sentence's context.
