Correct Answer: a)
Explanation:
Detailed Explanation:
The most logical order of sentences is a) ZXY.
- Sentence Structure & Logical Links:
- The introductory stem is: “Art has many uses”. This is an independent clause.
- Segment Z begins with the coordinating conjunction “and” and introduces an additional aspect: “and sometimes it can be used…”. This links directly to the stem.
- Segment Z ends with the passive construction “can be used”, which naturally takes an infinitive of purpose (to + V1). Segment X provides this infinitive: “to beautify and…”. Thus, X follows Z.
- Segment X ends with the conjunction “and”, requiring a parallel base verb to complete the compound infinitive structure. Segment Y provides the parallel verb: “force viewers to ponder”. Hence, Y follows X.
- Coherent Paragraph: “Art has many uses and sometimes it can be used (Z) to beautify and (X) force viewers to ponder (Y).”
Hence, the correct sequence is ZXY (Option a).
विस्तृत व्याख्या:
वाक्यों का सबसे तार्किक क्रम a) ZXY है।
- तार्किक एवं व्याकरणिक संबंध:
- प्रारंभिक वाक्य खंड “Art has many uses” (कला के कई उपयोग हैं) एक स्वतंत्र उपवाक्य है।
- खंड Z संयोजक “and” से शुरू होकर अतिरिक्त विचार प्रस्तुत करता है: “and sometimes it can be used…”। यह सीधे प्रारंभिक खंड से जुड़ता है।
- खंड Z “can be used” पर समाप्त होता है, जिसके बाद उद्देश्य दर्शाने वाला Infinitive (to + V1) आना चाहिए। खंड X “to beautify and…” से शुरू होकर इसे पूरा करता है। अतः Z के बाद X आएगा।
- खंड X संयोजक “and” पर समाप्त होता है, जिसके बाद समानांतर क्रिया वाला खंड Y (“force viewers to ponder”) आएगा (to beautify and force…)।
- पूर्ण एवं सार्थक वाक्य: “Art has many uses and sometimes it can be used to beautify and force viewers to ponder.”
अतः सही क्रम ZXY (विकल्प a) है।
