Which word completes the direct speech: The colleague said, "_____ me with this analysis."

Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation

Answer: (B) Assist

Concept (Direct Speech में Imperative): Direct Speech (प्रत्यक्ष कथन) में आदेश या अनुरोध का वाक्य (Imperative) Verb के Base Form (V1) से शुरू होता है। 'Assist me with this analysis' एक Imperative Sentence (आज्ञावाचक वाक्य) है, जिसमें Subject 'you' छिपा रहता है।
✓ शुद्ध वाक्य: The colleague said, "Assist me with this analysis."
'Assisting', 'Assisted' और 'Assists' इस संरचना में शुद्ध नहीं हैं।
Examiner का जाल: 'Assisted' या 'Assisting' जैसे रूप चुनना।
Concept (Imperative in direct speech): a request or command in direct speech begins with the base form of the verb (V1). 'Assist me with this analysis' is an imperative sentence, with the subject 'you' implied.
✓ Correct sentence: The colleague said, "Assist me with this analysis."
'Assisting', 'assisted' and 'assists' are not correct in this structure.
Exam trap: choosing 'Assisted' or 'Assisting'.
