Don't Miss: Month-wise current affairs
Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: subject to attack
Solution : The correct choice is the third option .
The phrase "is likely to attack by lions or tigers" is grammatically incorrect. The intended meaning is that deer are prone to being attacked by lions or tigers, not that the deer itself is likely to attack. The phrase "subject to attack" accurately conveys this idea, as it can be used to indicate vulnerability or exposure to potential harm. In this context, it effectively communicates that deer are at risk of being attacked by lions or tigers.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: A deer is subject to attack by lions or tigers throughout its life.
