Choose the most suitable option to replace the highlighted part of the sentence:
No one knows where is he staying.
Options:
- a) where is he stay
- b) where he is staying at
- c) where he is staying
- d) where he had stayed is
- a) where is he stay
- b) where he is staying at
- c) where he is staying
- d) where he had stayed is
correct answer : c)
Explanation:
In a noun clause operating as the object of a verb (‘knows’), the word order should be subject + verb (‘where he is staying’), not the interrogative inverted order (‘where is he staying’).
जब कोई ‘wh-word’ वाक्य के बीच में आता है और clause का कार्य करता है, तो उसके बाद Subject + Verb का प्रयोग होता है (साधारण वाक्य की तरह), न कि Verb + Subject (प्रश्नवाचक की तरह)। अतः ‘where he is staying’ सही है।
