Question and options
The phrase 'de facto' means
- all the facts
- all the facts and figures
- bona fide
- for all practical purposes
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - for all practical purposes
‘De facto’ means ‘in fact’, describing what exists in practice whether or not it is legally recognised; so it means for all practical purposes. It is contrasted with ‘de jure’, by law. ‘Bona fide’ means in good faith, and the phrase has nothing to do with the totality of facts or figures.
