Authority में author है — किताब का author तय करता है कि उसमें क्या जाएगा और विषय को सबसे अच्छी तरह जानता है। इसलिए authority = आदेश देने का अधिकार, या विशेषज्ञ।

AUTHORITY contains 'author'. The author of a book has the right to decide what goes into it and knows the subject best — so authority means the power to give orders, or an expert.

Exam note

दोनों senses पूछे जाते हैं। Options में authoritative (आधिकारिक) और authoritarian (तानाशाही) साथ आते हैं — इन्हें मिलाइए मत।

Both senses are tested. In the options, authoritative (official, reliable) and authoritarian (dictatorial) appear together, and they must not be confused.
