दिए गए वाक्य में रेखांकित खंड को प्रतिस्थापित करने वाले सबसे उपयुक्त विकल्प का चयन करें।
No sooner had she finished her breakfast that she had received a phone call from her boss, informing her that she needed to come to work immediately.
Options:
- a) that she received
- b) that she receives
- c) than she receives
- d) than she received
- a) that she received
- b) that she receives
- c) than she receives
- d) than she received (कि उसे प्राप्त हुआ)
correct answer : d)
Explanation:
The correlative conjunction ‘No sooner’ is always followed by ‘than’. The clause following ‘than’ must use the simple past tense (‘received’) instead of past perfect (‘had received’). Thus, ‘than she received’ is correct. Thus, option (d) is correct.
‘No sooner’ के साथ हमेशा ‘than’ का जोड़ा बनता है। ‘than’ के बाद आने वाले उपवाक्य में past perfect (‘had received’) के स्थान पर simple past tense (‘received’) का प्रयोग होना चाहिए। अतः ‘than she received’ सही रूप है। इसलिए विकल्प (d) सही है।
