The migrant crisis led several states to _____ existing labour laws in order to improve their condition.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. amend.

  • The word 'amend' means 'to change or modify (something) for the better, especially a law or a legal document'.
  • According to the sentence, the existing labour law is not sufficient to deal with the issue of migration of labourers. Thus, in order to improve their condition, states must take steps to improve the existing labour law.
  • So, in the given sentence, the word 'amend' fits best.
