Instruction: Identify the sentence(s) that is/are showing the correct use of the given word in bold. Skewer. (i) There is something very warm and comforting about eating roasted marshmallows in skewers in winter. (ii) It is easier to get away with skewering the political characters through satirical comic strips. (iii) It is unfortunate that when the time came, being in power he had skewed the rules in his favour.
Explanation: (A) "Skewer" as a noun means a long, pointed rod used for holding food during cooking (correctly used in i). "Skewer" as a verb means to criticize severely or ridicule (correctly used in ii). "Skewed" in (iii) means to distort or bias, which is a different word, so (iii) is incorrect. Thus, only (i) and (ii) are correct.
