निम्नलिखित वाक्य के कुछ अंश विकल्पों के रूप में दिए गए हैं। उस विकल्प का चयन करें जिसमें त्रुटि है।
We were grateful for a book they gave us.
Options:
- a) they gave us
- b) We were
- c) grateful for
- d) a book
- a) they gave us
- b) We were
- c) grateful for
- d) a book
correct answer : d)
Explanation:
Since ‘book’ is specific (the one they gave us), the definite article ‘the’ should be used instead of ‘a’.
चूँकि ‘book’ यहाँ विशिष्ट (specific) है (वह किताब जो उन्होंने दी थी), इसलिए ‘a’ के स्थान पर definite article ‘the’ का प्रयोग होना चाहिए।
