Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. The Supreme Court set away.
The correct phrase should be 'set aside' rather than 'set away.'
'Set aside' means to annul, cancel, or disregard, which makes sense in the legal context (like setting aside a verdict).
'Set away' does not have the correct meaning in this context.
The correct sentence is:
The Supreme Court set aside the verdict of the High Court and agreed to hear the plea of the complainant.
