Question

Tick the option in which the word rued has been used correctly .


(a) A person who is dishonest is rued

(b) His behavior is rued.


(c) It is no use to cry over rued milk

(d) I rued the day I met him .​

Answer 1

The word 'rued' is of German origin in which it means- "mourning over something" or "remorse".

In modern-day English, it means- "deeply regret over something which has happened and wish it to be undone".

Now let us analyze each of the statements given in the question:

A) A person who is dishonest is rued.
The word rued placed at the end of the sentence doesn't convey any sense to this statement. The fact of a person being dishonest over something is nothing to deeply regret and wish it to be undone since it is a personality trait and not an accident.

B) His behaviour is rued.
Again, the behaviour of a person has nothing to be regretted about.

C) It is of no use to cry over rued milk.
The word 'rued' does not make sense here at all. It is used as an adjective here to describe the word 'milk'.

D) I rued the day I met him.
In this sentence, the word 'rued' has been used correctly. In this sentence, it means that the girl (addressed as 'I') regrets the day she met the boy (addressed as 'him') and wishes she shouldn't have met him.
