Sequester means which of the following?

• A. To release a suspect from custody
• B. To set apart for a special purpose and hold in custody
• C. To grant immunity
• D. To sentence immediately

Answer: (B)

Sequester means to set apart for a special purpose and hold in custody. This idea is about removing something or someone from ordinary use and keeping it under control for a specific aim. In a courtroom, you might hear about jurors being sequestered to prevent outside influence, or assets being sequestered and held by the court for safekeeping. The other options describe actions that aren’t about setting aside and holding in custody: releasing a suspect would undo custody, granting immunity is a different legal protection, and sentencing immediately is a separate judicial action.
