/ˌɔːlˈtɜːrnətɪv./ – Phrase
Definition: hình phạt để lựa chọn.
A more thorough explanation: An alternative sentence refers to a punishment or penalty imposed by a court that differs from the standard or traditional sentence typically given for a particular offense. This type of sentence may involve alternative forms of punishment such as community service, rehabilitation programs, or probation instead of incarceration.
Example: In the alternative, the plaintiff may choose to pursue a claim for breach of contract instead of a claim for negligence.
