[amp_mcq option1=”Parole” option2=”Forgiveness” option3=”Clemency” option4=”Amnesty” correct=”option1″]
The correct answer is: Amnesty.
Amnesty is a general pardon for a group or class of people, usually granted by the government. It is often used to pardon political offenders or to forgive those who have committed certain crimes.
Pardon is a legal act that forgives a person for a crime they have committed. It is usually granted by the government, but can also be granted by a court.
Forgiveness is a personal act that forgives someone for a wrong they have done. It is not a legal act, but it can be very powerful.
Clemency is a form of mercy that is shown to someone who has committed a crime. It can be used to reduce a sentence or to pardon someone altogether.
In the context of the question, the only option that is a general pardon of political offenders is amnesty. The other options are not general pardons, and they do not apply to political offenders specifically.
