Identify the incorrect sentence.
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (A) She has got cold and cough.
cold, cough, headache और fever जैसे सामान्य रोग countable (गणनीय) रूप में प्रयुक्त होने पर article ‘a’ लेते हैं: a cold, a cough, a headache। अतः वाक्य (a) अशुद्ध है।
✓ शुद्ध वाक्य: She has got a cold and a cough.
▸ विकल्प (b) — ‘a few’ का अर्थ ‘कुछ’ है, और countable ‘people’ के साथ यह सही है।
▸ विकल्प (c) — देने के अर्थ में ‘lend’ सही है, और अनुरोध में ‘some’ का प्रयोग भी उचित है।
▸ विकल्प (d) — uncountable (अगणनीय) ‘sense’ के साथ ‘more’ सही है।
Concept (article with countable illness nouns): common illnesses such as cold, cough, headache and fever take the article ‘a’ when used in the countable sense: a cold, a cough, a headache. So sentence (a) is incorrect.
✓ Correct sentence: She has got a cold and a cough.
▸ (b) Only a few people came to the party. ‘A few’ means ‘some’, and it is correct with the countable ‘people’.
▸ (c) Could you lend me some of your books today? ‘Lend’ is correct in the sense of giving for use, and ‘some’ is correct in a request.
▸ (d) He has more sense than you have. ‘More’ is correct with the uncountable ‘sense’.
