Identify the segment in the sentence which contains an error. If there is no error, select 'No error'.

The ancient ruins attract thousands / of tourists every year who are / fascinating by the rich history / and culture of the place.

Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation

Answer: (C) fascinating by the rich history

पर्यटकों पर इतिहास का प्रभाव पड़ता है, इसलिए are के बाद Participle V3 होना चाहिए: fascinated by। Fascinating उस वस्तु के बारे में बताता है जो मोहित करती है, उस व्यक्ति के बारे में नहीं जो अनुभव करता है।
✓
… tourists every year who are fascinated by the rich history and culture of the place.
The tourists are affected by the history, so the participle after are must be V3: fascinated by. Fascinating describes the thing that fascinates, not the person who feels it.
✓
… tourists every year who are fascinated by the rich history and culture of the place.

बाकी Options उत्तर क्यों नहीं हैंWhy the other options are not the answer

A'attract thousands' अपूर्ण प्रतीत हुआ क्योंकि 'of tourists' अगले भाग में है। परंतु 'thousands of tourists' एक ही phrase है और 'attract' 'ruins' के अनुरूप है; दोष 'fascinating' में है।'attract thousands' looked incomplete since 'of tourists' comes in the next part. But 'thousands of tourists' is one phrase split across parts, and 'attract' agrees with 'ruins'; the error is 'fascinating'.
B'of tourists every year who are' में 'every year' के 'tourists' और 'who' के बीच आने से अनुचित स्थान प्रतीत हुआ। परंतु 'who are' बहुवचन 'tourists' के अनुरूप है, अतः यह भाग शुद्ध है; दोष 'fascinating' में है।'of tourists every year who are' looked misplaced because 'every year' sits between 'tourists' and 'who'. But 'who are' agrees with plural 'tourists', so this part is fine; the error is 'fascinating'.
D'and culture of the place' में 'rich history' के बाद एकवचन 'culture' अटपटा प्रतीत हुआ। परंतु 'the rich history and culture' संज्ञाओं का सामान्य युग्म है; दोष 'fascinating' में है।'and culture of the place' looked odd because 'culture' is singular after 'rich history'. But 'the rich history and culture' is a normal pair of nouns; the error is 'fascinating'.
