Option (b) cannot be the answer as it talks about the need of arresting Savchenko but the need of arresting him until a particular date without assigning any reason doesn’t make sense. While in option (a) also a date is given but in this case, it makes sense as here it is not talking about the need of arresting him, in fact the judge is sentencing him and a sentence is of a fixed period of time and it is bound to end at some point of time.

S15. Ans. (e)
