Correct Answer: a)
Explanation:
Detailed Explanation:
The correct option according to the official SSC answer key is a) happen.
- Contextual & Official Key Explanation: While in standard modern English the present participle adjective “happening” is commonly used to describe a venue that is trendy, lively, or fashionable (e.g., “a happening club”), the official SSC IMD 2017 answer key designates a) happen as the correct answer.
- Detailed Analysis of Options:
- happen (Verb): To take place or occur (Marked in official answer key).
- happening (Adjective/Noun): Means lively, trendy, or active when used as an adjective modifying a venue.
- happenings (Noun): Plural noun meaning events or occurrences; cannot modify a singular noun directly.
- happenstance (Noun): Chance or coincidence; does not fit the context of describing a type of club.
Hence, based on the official SSC key, the answer is a) happen.
विस्तृत व्याख्या:
एसएससी की आधिकारिक उत्तर कुंजी के अनुसार सही विकल्प a) happen है।
- संदर्भ एवं उत्तर कुंजी विश्लेषण: यद्यपि मानक आधुनिक अंग्रेजी में किसी जीवंत, ट्रेंडी या लोकप्रिय स्थल के लिए विशेषण के रूप में “happening” का प्रयोग किया जाता है (जैसे: “a happening club”), परंतु एसएससी आईएमडी 2017 की आधिकारिक उत्तर कुंजी में विकल्प a) happen को सही उत्तर माना गया है।
- विकल्पों का विश्लेषण:
- happen (क्रिया): घटित होना (आधिकारिक उत्तर कुंजी द्वारा मान्य)।
- happening (विशेषण/संज्ञा): विशेषण के रूप में इसका अर्थ ‘जीवंत, लोकप्रिय या ट्रेंडी’ होता है।
- happenings (बहुवचन संज्ञा): घटनाएँ या वृत्तांत।
- happenstance (संज्ञा): आकस्मिक घटना या संयोग।
अतः आधिकारिक उत्तर कुंजी के आधार पर सही उत्तर विकल्प a) happen है।
