Question:

Choose the correct meaning for the underlined words.

The Mayor appointed an ad hoc committee to study the project.

Options:

Concerned with Municipal Commisssion.

Concerned with Elected member.

Concerned with a particular purpose only.

Concerned with cleaning of Municipal Area.

Correct Answer:

Concerned with a particular purpose only.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) - Concerned with a particular purpose only.

The phrase "ad hoc" refers to something formed or created for a specific purpose and not intended to be permanent.

In the given sentence:
"The Mayor appointed an ad hoc committee to study the project."

  • This means that the committee was formed specifically to study the project

OTHER OPTIONS

 "Concerned with Municipal Commission." → Incorrect, as "ad hoc" does not specifically refer to municipal work.

 "Concerned with Elected member." → Incorrect, because "ad hoc" describes temporary committees, not elected members.

 "Concerned with cleaning of Municipal Area." → Incorrect, since "ad hoc" means temporary and purpose-specific, not necessarily related to municipal cleaning.
