Question:
Identify the part of the sentence that contains a grammatical error:
A. The book, B. which you suggested, C. was both interesting D. and entertain.
वाक्य के उस भाग की पहचान कीजिए जिसमें व्याकरण संबंधी त्रुटि है:
A. The book, B. which you suggested, C. was both interesting D. and entertain.
Options:
- The book
- which you suggested
- was both interesting
- and entertain.
- The book
- which you suggested
- was both interesting
- and entertain.
Correct Answer: d)
Explanation:
Correlative conjunction ‘both… and’ requires parallel grammatical forms. Since ‘interesting’ is an adjective, ‘entertain’ must be replaced with the adjective ‘entertaining’: ‘was both interesting and entertaining’.
‘both… and’ के साथ समानांतर व्याकरणिक रूप (Parallel structure) होना चाहिए। ‘interesting’ विशेषण है, इसलिए ‘entertain’ (क्रिया) की जगह ‘entertaining’ (विशेषण) होना चाहिए। त्रुटि भाग D में है।
