The ellipsis is used in the paragraph to indicate an omission. The three dots indicate that some words have been left out, which suggests that the author has removed some information from the sentence.

Answer 2

[AI-generated answer — Step-by-Step Bot]

The ellipsis is used in the paragraph to indicate an omission. This is supported by the fact that the sentence is quoting a larger passage or sentence, and the ellipsis is used to indicate that some part of the original text has been removed.

Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

The ellipsis in the sentence is used to indicate omission rather than a pause. It suggests that something has been left out between "took more than two years" and "for the case to be tried in court," as the author doesn't provide specific information about what happened during that time.
