Am I wrong ? Never heard "swore to God"

However, there are examples like "they swore to marry each other"
That's correct but I think one always swears upon God

1.He swore by God.
2.He spoke these words on his face.

Respected members correct me if i'm wrong.

Though I did not attempt yet I think "He swore by God" is correct. I would have attempted by replacing "upon" with "by" if I had no other option in the exam.

Dear Atif: Almost all the options are close in meaning but we have to be very careful while selecting answer by keeping in mind the parts of speech. This is the most difficult question though words seem very easy but options are very close with slight difference.

(i) Discotheque: (D) Place where social dancing is done but need not imply the serving alcoholic drinks.

(ii) Benevolence (noun): (B) Goodwill

(iii) Partisan (adjective): (D) Prejudiced.

(iv) Forego (verb): (A) Give-up

(v) Extirpate (verb)C) Uproot

(vi) Vogue (noun)D) Fashion

(vii) Tie: (D) Fasten

(viii) Timid: (A) Shy

(ix) Modest: (D) Docile.

(x) Graphic (adjective): (C) Vivid
