वाक्य के रेखांकित/हाइलाइट किए गए भाग को बदलने के लिए सबसे उपयुक्त विकल्प चुनें:
I am not one of these people who trusts in superstitions.
Options:
- trusted
- trust
- trusting
- to trust
- trusted
- trust
- trusting
- to trust
Correct Answer: b)
Explanation:
In the construction ‘one of the/these + plural noun + who/that + plural verb’, the relative pronoun ‘who’ refers to the plural antecedent ‘these people’. Therefore, the plural verb ‘trust’ must be used instead of singular ‘trusts’.
Relative pronoun ‘who’ का antecedent बहुवचन संज्ञा ‘these people’ है। बहुवचन संज्ञा के साथ plural verb ‘trust’ का प्रयोग होगा, न कि ‘trusts’। अतः विकल्प (b) सही है।
