Select the option that substitutes the underlined group of words in the given sentence.
Counterfeiting and smuggling are the trades that are prohibited by law.
Answer: B
The word is 'illicit', which means forbidden by law or not permitted. Counterfeiting and smuggling are illegal trades, so illicit replaces 'prohibited by law'. 'Illusive' means deceptive or based on illusion, 'illegible' means that cannot be read, and 'illative' is a rare word concerning an inference or a grammatical case. None of these three means forbidden by law, so only 'illicit' fits the sentence.
