Multiple Choice

Match each Latin maxim to its meaning.
-Eiusdem generis.

B) When general words follow a list of specific words, then the general words should be read according to the genus of the preceding specific words.
C) This rule means that a word is known by its associates and the meaning of a word is therefore to be determined by its surrounding words.
D) A word used in one Act can be given the same meaning in another, if the two Acts are dealing with the same matter.
