Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Analyzing the clues.
The clues are: Permit, Bank, Pardon, and Court. We need to find a word that connects all of these.
Step 2: Exploring the alternatives.
(A) Grant: A "Grant" is related to "Permit" (to grant permission), "Bank" (granting loans), "Pardon" (a grant of pardon), and "Court" (a grant of a ruling). This fits all the clues.
(B) Jail: "Jail" is related to "Court" but does not fit with "Permit," "Bank," or "Pardon."
(C) Prison: "Prison" is related to "Court" but doesn’t connect with "Permit," "Bank," or "Pardon."
(D) Judge: A "Judge" is related to "Court" but doesn’t fit with the other clues.
(E) Leave: "Leave" doesn’t fit well with the clues.
Step 3: Conclusion.
The correct answer is (A) Grant, as it connects all the given clues in various contexts.
