Question

Find the incorrect usage of the word “STOP”.

• A. The car stopped at the traffic light
• B. Shantaram immediately stopped what he was doing
• C. We need more laws to stop pollution
• D. He is stopped by law from holding a licence

Hint:

Use of formal expressions like “prohibited by law” is preferred over awkward literal verbs like “stopped by law”.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Options (A), (B), and (C) are grammatically and idiomatically correct uses of "stop".
Option (D) is slightly awkward: “He is stopped by law” is not standard usage. A better phrasing would be “He is prohibited by law…” or “He is barred by law…”
Thus: \[ \boxed{\text{(D)}} \]
