Question:

Choose the most suitable option to replace the highlighted part of the sentence:
The information provided by the two witnesses are contradicting each other.

वाक्य के रेखांकित/हाइलाइट किए गए भाग को बदलने के लिए सबसे उपयुक्त विकल्प चुनें:
The information provided by the two witnesses are contradicting each other.

Options:

  • a) is contradicting
  • b) are contradict
  • c) were contradicting
  • d) is contradicted
  • a) is contradicting
  • b) are contradict
  • c) were contradicting
  • d) is contradicted

correct answer : a)

Explanation:

The grammatical subject is “The information”, which is an uncountable noun and therefore treated as singular. A singular subject requires a singular verb. Hence, the plural verb “are contradicting” should be replaced with the singular verb “is contradicting”.

वाक्य का व्याकरणिक सब्जेक्ट “The information” है, जो एक अनकाउंटेबल नाउन (uncountable noun) है और इसलिए इसे सिंगुलर (एकवचन) माना जाता है। सिंगुलर सब्जेक्ट के साथ सिंगुलर वर्ब का उपयोग होता है। अतः, प्लुरल वर्ब “are contradicting” के स्थान पर सिंगुलर वर्ब “is contradicting” का उपयोग होना चाहिए।
