- 2
- 3
- 4
Correct Answer: c)
Explanation:
Detailed Explanation:
The error lies in Part (3) of the sentence: “peals for laughter”.
- Idiomatic Usage & Preposition: The standard idiomatic expression in English is “peals of laughter”, not “peals for laughter”.
- Meaning: A “peal of laughter” refers to a loud, ringing sound or sudden outburst of laughter. The noun peal takes the preposition “of” to specify its source or nature.
- Phrasal Verb: “Burst into” means to suddenly break out into an action or state (e.g., burst into laughter, burst into tears).
- Correct Sentence: “The whole family would burst into peals of laughter.”
Hence, Option c) 3 is the correct answer.
विस्तृत व्याख्या:
वाक्य के भाग (3) (“peals for laughter”) में त्रुटि है।
- मुहावरेदार प्रयोग एवं प्रीपोजिशन नियम: अंग्रेजी में सही मुहावरेदार वाक्यांश “peals of laughter” (ठहाके या हँसी का फव्वारा) होता है, न कि “peals for laughter”।
- अर्थ: ‘Peal’ का अर्थ तेज गूंजती आवाज या अचानक निकला स्वर होता है। इसके स्रोत को दर्शाने के लिए प्रीपोजिशन “of” का प्रयोग किया जाता है, ‘for’ का नहीं।
- Phrasal Verb: “Burst into” का अर्थ होता है अचानक किसी भाव या क्रिया में प्रवृत्त हो जाना (जैसे: burst into tears/laughter)।
- सही वाक्य: “The whole family would burst into peals of laughter.”
अतः सही उत्तर विकल्प c) 3 है।
