A factory manufacturing illicit liquor was unearthed by the police yesterday.

poisonous
unlawful
intoxicating
cheap

The correct answer is: B. unlawful.

The word “illicit” means “unlawful” or “illegal”. In this case, the factory was manufacturing liquor without a license, which is against the

law.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • Poisonous: Liquor is not poisonous unless it is contaminated.
  • Intoxicating: Liquor is intoxicating, but this is not why the factory was shut down.
  • Cheap: The price of liquor is not relevant to whether or not it is legal.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
