Identify the error in the use of adjectives in the following sentence:
Every of the two finalists received a certificate for demonstrating exceptional skill throughout the demanding national competition.
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (A) Every
Concept (Each बनाम Every): 'every' दो से अधिक व्यक्तियों या वस्तुओं के पूरे समूह के लिए प्रयोग होता है और इसके बाद 'of the' नहीं आता। जब दो में से प्रत्येक की बात हो, तब 'Each of the two' या 'Each of' प्रयुक्त होता है।
यहाँ 'two finalists' हैं, इसलिए 'Every' गलत है। शुद्ध वाक्य: Each of the two finalists received a certificate for demonstrating exceptional skill throughout the demanding national competition.
Examiner का जाल: दो में से प्रत्येक के लिए 'Every' लिख देना।
Concept (Each versus every): 'every' is used for a whole group of more than two persons or things, and it is not followed by 'of the'. When talking about each one of two, 'each of the two' or 'each of' is used.
Here there are two finalists, so 'every' is wrong. The correct sentence: Each of the two finalists received a certificate for demonstrating exceptional skill throughout the demanding national competition.
Exam trap: writing 'every' for each of two.
