Questions :
Fill in the blank with an appropriate word:- The police ordered the citizens to stay at home as curfew was ___________ in the city.
Options :
- ordered
- placed
- enforced
- adjudicated
correct answer : c)
The correct answer is: ✅ enforced
Explanation:
The correct sentence would be:
“The police ordered the citizens to stay at home as curfew was enforced in the city.”
Enforced means to put a law or rule into effect, which fits perfectly here.
❌ Ordered – doesn’t fit grammatically in this sentence.
❌ Placed – sounds awkward and is not the correct collocation with “curfew.”
❌ Adjudicated – means to make a formal judgment, usually in legal disputes. Not relevant here.
So, the best and most appropriate word is enforced.
