Question:

Choose the one word which can be substituted for the given sentence.

Release of a prisoner from jail on certain terms and condition:

Options:

Parole

Parley

Pardon

Aquittal

Correct Answer:

Parole

Explanation:

The word that can be substituted for the given sentence is parole.

  • Parole is the conditional release of a prisoner from jail before the end of their sentence.
  • Parley is a discussion between enemies or opponents, especially for the purpose of negotiating a truce.
  • Pardon is an official forgiveness of a crime or offense.
  • Aquittal is a judgment that a person is not guilty of a crime.

Parole is the best fit because it conveys the idea of a prisoner being released from jail, but with certain conditions that they must follow. The word comes from the French word "parole," meaning "word of honor."
