He was jailed for failing to obey the court injunction.

Analyze the question: This is a "closest in meaning" question. We need the word that best matches the word "injunction" in the sentence: "He was jailed for failing to obey the court injunction."

Explain the concept: An injunction is an official court order that commands a person to do something or to stop doing something. If someone ignores it, they can be punished for "contempt of court," which may include jail.

Go through the options:

• A. law: A law is a general rule for everyone in a country. An injunction is a specific command to particular persons, so this is not the best match.
• B. order: This fits. An injunction is a court order, and we "obey" an order.
• C. fine: A fine is a money penalty, not something you obey.
• D. proceedings: These are the steps of a court case, not something you obey.

Answer: The word closest in meaning to injunction is order.

Exam tip: In vocabulary questions, substitute each option into the sentence and see which sounds natural. "Failing to obey the court order" works perfectly. Also, collocation helps: you obey an order, but you do not usually "obey a fine" or "obey proceedings."
