Every person (have to go) through different stages in life.
Options:
- has to go
- to go
- is going
- No improvement
- has to go
- to go
- is going
- No improvement
Correct Answer: a)
Explanation:
Detailed Explanation:
The correct alternative to improve the sentence is a) has to go.
- Grammar Rule (Distributive Pronouns & Determiners):
- The determiner “Every” is distributive and always qualifies a singular countable noun (person).
- A subject qualified by Every requires a singular finite verb.
- Therefore, the plural auxiliary “have to” must be replaced with the singular auxiliary “has to” to indicate obligation or necessity.
- Review of Options:
- has to go (Correct): Singular verb has correctly agrees with the singular subject Every person.
- to go: Non-finite infinitive; leaves the main clause without a finite predicate verb.
- is going: Indicates an ongoing continuous action rather than the universal necessity/general truth expressed here.
- No improvement: Incorrect because have is grammatically plural.
- Correct Sentence: “Every person has to go through different stages in life.”
Hence, Option a is correct.
विस्तृत व्याख्या:
वाक्य सुधार के लिए सही विकल्प a) has to go है।
- व्याकरणिक नियम (Distributive Determiners):
- शब्द “Every” एक Distributive Determiner है, जिसके बाद सदैव एकवचन संज्ञा (person) आती है।
- इसके साथ प्रयुक्त होने वाली क्रिया भी सदैव एकवचन (Singular verb) होनी चाहिए।
- अतः बहुवचन क्रिया “have to” के स्थान पर एकवचन रूप “has to” का प्रयोग आवश्यक है।
- विकल्पों का विश्लेषण:
- has to go (सही उत्तर): एकवचन क्रिया has कर्ता Every person के साथ पूर्णतः व्याकरणिक रूप से सही है।
- to go: यह एक Infinitive है, जिससे मुख्य उपवाक्य बिना परिमित क्रिया (Finite verb) के अधूरा रह जाता है।
- is going: यह तात्कालिक निरंतरता दर्शाता है, जबकि यहाँ सार्वभौमिक सत्य/नियम की बात की गई है।
- No improvement: अशुद्ध, क्योंकि मूल वाक्य में ‘have’ गलत है।
- सही वाक्य: “Every person has to go through different stages in life.”
अतः सही उत्तर विकल्प a है।
