Choose the expanded form of the given word from the following options: “Pangram”
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → A sentence that uses all the letters of the alphabet.
A pangram (from Greek pan, "all", and gramma, "letter") is a sentence that contains every letter of the alphabet at least once. Typists use pangrams to test keyboards and fonts.
Example: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" is a well-known pangram.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: A sentence that reads the same from right to left or from left to right. — Incorrect. This describes a palindrome.
Example: "Never odd or even" is a palindrome.
Option 3: A secret transcript — Incorrect. Secret or coded writing is a cipher or cryptogram.
Example: The spy sent the message in a cipher.
Option 4: A letter written with newspaper cut-outs. — Incorrect. This describes a ransom note or anonymous letter of the kind seen in crime stories; it has nothing to do with using every letter of the alphabet.
