Identify the segment in the sentence which contains an error. If there is no error, select 'No error'.
In which sentence below is the adjective incorrectly used, introducing a subtle error in meaning?
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (C) The remarkably glass vase shattered easily on the wooden floor.
Concept (Adverb with a Material Modifier): 'remarkably' Adverb का प्रयोग 'glass' के साथ हुआ है, जो Material बताने वाला शब्द है, इससे अर्थ बिगड़ जाता है; 'remarkably glass' का कोई तार्किक अर्थ नहीं बनता।
सही प्रयोग होगा 'remarkably fragile glass vase' या 'remarkable glass vase'।
Options (a), (b) और (d) में Adjectives (intricate, determined, energetic, bouncing, silent, distant) अपने Nouns के साथ अर्थ की दृष्टि से सही हैं।
Examiner का trap: 'remarkably glass' जैसा Adverb Noun Modifier के साथ सही लगना ही trap है।
Concept (Adverb with a Material Modifier): 'remarkably' has been used with 'glass', a word that tells the material, which changes the meaning. 'remarkably glass' has no logical sense.
The correct form would be 'remarkably fragile glass vase' or 'remarkable glass vase'.
Options (a), (b) and (d) use their adjectives (intricate, determined, energetic, bouncing, silent, distant) correctly for their nouns.
Exam trap: accepting an adverb placed before a material modifier such as 'glass' as correct is the trap.
