I've learned that what really counts in life, in the end, is not how many toys we have / collected or how much money we've accumulated, but how many of our / talents we have liberated and used for a purpose that add value to this world. / No error
आपने शायद यह सोचाWhat you probably thought'what really counts … is not how many toys' में बहुवचन 'toys' के कारण संदेह हुआ। परंतु क्रिया 'is' What-clause के अनुसार है, अतः यह भाग ठीक है; दोष 'add' में है।'what really counts … is not how many toys' looked doubtful because of the plural 'toys'. But the verb 'is' follows the What-clause, so the part is fine; the fault is 'add'.
आपने शायद यह सोचाWhat you probably thought'collected or how much money we've accumulated' में काल मिश्रित लगे। परंतु 'have collected' और 'have accumulated' समानांतर हैं; दोष 'add' में है।'collected or how much money we've accumulated' looked like a mixed list of tenses. But 'have collected' and 'have accumulated' are parallel; the fault is 'add'.
आपने शायद यह सोचाWhat you probably thoughtतेज़ी से पढ़ने पर वाक्य सहज लगता है और What-cleft (विदलित वाक्य) frame पूर्ण दिखता है, अतः 'add' पर दृष्टि नहीं जाती। परंतु 'that' एकवचन 'a purpose' के लिए है, इसलिए 'adds' आवश्यक है।The sentence sounds natural when read fast, and the What-cleft frame looks perfect, so 'add' is easy to miss. But 'that' refers to the singular 'a purpose', so 'adds' is needed.
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (C) talents we have liberated and used for a purpose that add value to this world.
What-cleft (विदलित वाक्य) ठीक है: what really counts … is not … but … में एकवचन is है। त्रुटि अंतिम भाग में है। *that*-उपवाक्य a purpose के बारे में है, जो एकवचन है, इसलिए add की जगह adds होगा।
✓
… talents we have liberated and used for a purpose that adds value to this world.
सरल अर्थ: मैंने सीखा है कि जीवन में अंत में यह मायने नहीं रखता कि हमने कितने खिलौने जमा किए, बल्कि यह कि हमने अपनी कितनी प्रतिभाओं को निखारकर किसी ऐसे उद्देश्य में लगाया जो संसार का मूल्य बढ़ाता है।
The What-cleft is fine: what really counts … is not … but … takes the singular is. The error is in the last part. The *that*-clause refers to a purpose, which is singular, so add becomes adds.
✓
… talents we have liberated and used for a purpose that adds value to this world.
