Which sentence below demonstrates an adjective usage error that would likely be overlooked by advanced editors focusing on thematic consistency rather than grammatical precision?
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (D) Despite the project’s demanding schedule, the team remained resiliency through the shifting requirements.
Concept (Linking Verb 'Remained' with Adjective): 'remained' जैसे Linking Verb के बाद Adjective आता है, Noun नहीं। यहाँ 'resiliency' एक Noun है, जबकि 'resilient' (Adjective) आना चाहिए।
✓ शुद्ध वाक्य: Despite the project's demanding schedule, the team remained resilient through the shifting requirements.
बाकी विकल्पों ('innovative', 'scientific' और 'cautious') का प्रयोग व्याकरण की दृष्टि से सही है।
Exam trap: 'remained' के बाद Noun 'resiliency' रखना ही वह जाल है।
Concept (Linking Verb 'Remained' with Adjective): after a linking verb such as 'remained', an adjective, not a noun, is used. Here 'resiliency' is a noun, but 'resilient' is needed.
✓ Correct sentence: Despite the project's demanding schedule, the team remained resilient through the shifting requirements.
The other options ('innovative', 'scientific', 'cautious') are grammatically correct.
Exam trap: putting the noun 'resiliency' after 'remained' is the trap.
