The Lok Sabha Speaker adjourned the Parliament Session for an indefinite peroid:

Options:

Sine cure

Sine qua non

Sin bin

Sine die

Correct Answer:

Sine die

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) - Sine die

Given the sentence "The Lok Sabha Speaker adjourned the Parliament Session for an indefinite period," the correct foreign expression to replace the underlined words is: Sine die

Explanation:
- "Sine die" is the appropriate term here because it signifies the indefinite adjournment of a meeting or session without a scheduled date for resumption. It indicates that the parliamentary session has been adjourned indefinitely.



1.Sine cure:-
This is a Latin phrase meaning "without care" and refers to a position or office that requires minimal work but provides a salary or income. It does not fit the context of adjourning a parliamentary session.

2. Sine qua non: -
This is a Latin phrase meaning "without which not" and refers to an essential condition or requirement. It is not suitable in this context because it describes something necessary for achieving a goal, not adjourning a session.

3.Sin bin:-
This is a slang term used in sports, particularly in rugby and ice hockey, referring to a penalty box where players are sent for infractions. It does not apply to adjourning a parliamentary session.

4. Sine die:-
This is a Latin phrase meaning "without a day" and refers to adjourning a meeting or session indefinitely or without assigning a future date for resumption.
