/ɔlˈtɜrnətɪv/ – Adjective
Definition: khác, chọn một trong hai,
A more thorough explanation: In legal terms, “alternative” refers to a choice or option that is available in a given situation, typically presenting a different course of action or decision that can be taken instead of the primary or original choice. It may also refer to a different method or approach that can be used as a substitute or replacement for something else.
Example: 1. Rather than the standard 2 year imprisonment, the judge decided to impose an alternative sentence.
2. The only alternative to jail time is community service.
