Question:
The following sentence has been divided into four segments. Identify the segment that has a grammatical error.
His energetic attitude / showed that he had / soundly slept / the previous night.
निम्नलिखित वाक्य को चार भागों में विभाजित किया गया है। उस भाग की पहचान कीजिए जिसमें व्याकरण संबंधी त्रुटि है।
His energetic attitude / showed that he had / soundly slept / the previous night.
Options:
- a) His energetic attitude
- b) showed that he had
- c) the previous night.
- d) soundly slept
- a) His energetic attitude
- b) showed that he had
- c) the previous night.
- d) soundly slept
correct answer : d)
Explanation:
The adverb ‘soundly’ should follow the verb ‘slept’ rather than preceding it. The correct word order is ‘slept soundly’. Thus, option (d) contains the grammatical error.
क्रियाविशेषण (adverb) ‘soundly’ को मुख्य क्रिया ‘slept’ के बाद आना चाहिए, न कि उससे पहले। सही रूप ‘slept soundly’ होगा। अतः, विकल्प (d) में त्रुटि है।
