Select The Correct Synonym Of The Word PERJURE :

A: Lie
B: Hide
C: Attract
D: Boast

The answer is: A

Explanation

The correct synonym of the word "perjure" is option A: lie.

Perjure is a verb that means to willfully give false testimony or information while under oath. It is a serious offense in a court of law and can lead to legal penalties, such as fines or imprisonment.

The word "lie" is a synonym for "perjure" because both refer to giving false information with intent to deceive. "Hide" means to conceal or keep something secret, "attract" means to draw or pull towards something, and "boast" means to brag or speak with excessive pride. These words have different meanings and cannot be used as synonyms for perjure.
