Oust means?

• A. to eject someone from a place or a role
• B. to force someone out of a position
• C. to remove temporarily
• D. to insult publicly

Answer: (A)

Oust means to remove someone from a place or from a position, usually by force, pressure, or formal action. That broad sense fits best because it covers both removing someone from a location and removing them from the role they hold. For example, a leader can be ousted from power, or a chairperson can be ousted from their position. It’s not about temporary removal or about insulting someone publicly—the word conveys a decisive act of removal from place or office, not merely a tease or a jab.
