Question

BOLT (CAT 2004)

Options:

A . The shopkeeper showed us a bolt of fine silk.

B . As he could not move, he made a bolt for the gate.

C . Could you please bolt the door?

D . The thief was arrested before he could bolt from the scene of the crime.

Answer: Option B
:
B
Option: (b)

The word 'bolt' has been used correctly in choices (a), (c) and (d). A 'bolt of silk' refers to silk wound around a long metal tube. 'Bolt' as used in option (d) means 'to escape'. However the usage is inappropriate in choice (b). 'Bolt' means to 'make a dash for'; a person cannot make a bolt for the gate when he is unable to move.
