Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word:
The prisoner was released on _______ for good behavior.
A. Probation
B. Bail
C. Parole
D. Grounds
E. Guarantee

Answer 1

Hint:Parole is the early release of a prisoner who agrees to abide by certain conditions, originating from the French word parole. The term became associated during the Middle Ages with the release of prisoners who gave their word.

Complete answer:
A parole is the temporary or permanent release of a prisoner before the expiry of a sentence, on the promise of good behaviour..Hence, Option C is correct. Among the rest of the options, probation means the release of an offender from detention, subject to a period of good behaviour under supervision.
Bail means the temporary release of an accused person awaiting trial, sometimes on condition that a sum of money is lodged to guarantee their appearance in court or the release of an offender from detention, subject to a period of good behaviour under supervision, grounds means an area of knowledge or subject of discussion or thought.
Guarantee means a formal assurance (typically in writing) that certain conditions will be fulfilled, especially that a product will be repaired or replaced if not of a specified quality. These do not express the intended meaning, hence incorrect.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘C’.

Note:They are the reasons specified by the law that will serve as a basis for demanding relief. For example, a woman may sue her neighbor for Trespass on the ground that his fence was erected beyond his boundary line.
