Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.

Salman finishes the work / within hours but he / delays it if not / accompanying by Rohit.

Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation

Answer: (D) accompanying by Rohit.

if not accompanying by Rohit: कर्ता (doer) by से दिखाया गया है।
Concept: if not + V3 (accompanied) + by एक छोटा clause (उपवाक्य) है जिसमें he is छोड़ा गया है। By passive (कर्मवाच्य) का संकेत देता है, जिसे third form चाहिए।
✓
Salman finishes the work within hours but he delays it if not accompanied by Rohit.
delays it if not अधूरा लगता है, परंतु यह एक सही छोटा clause है।
सरल अर्थ: सलमान काम घंटों में निपटा देता है, लेकिन रोहित के साथ न हो तो वह देर लगाता है।
if not accompanying by Rohit: the doer is shown with by.
Concept: if not + V3 (accompanied) + by is a short clause with he is left out. By signals a passive, which needs the third form.
✓
Salman finishes the work within hours but he delays it if not accompanied by Rohit.
delays it if not seems incomplete, but it is a proper short clause.

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

A'Salman finishes the work' में काल संदिग्ध प्रतीत हुआ, क्योंकि आगे देरी की बात है। परंतु simple present (सामान्य वर्तमान काल) की आदत शुद्ध है; दोष 'accompanying by Rohit' में है।'Salman finishes the work' looked doubtful for tense, since the next part talks about delay. But a simple-present habit is fine; the error is 'accompanying by Rohit'.
B'within hours but he' में 'in hours' उचित लगा। परंतु 'within hours' का अर्थ घंटों के भीतर है, जो उपयुक्त है; दोष 'accompanying by Rohit' में है।'within hours but he' looked like it wanted 'in hours'. But 'within hours' means before hours pass, which fits; the error is 'accompanying by Rohit'.
C'delays it if not' अपूर्ण प्रतीत हुआ, मानो 'not' के बाद क्रिया चाहिए। परंतु 'if not accompanied' ऐसा छोटा उपवाक्य है जिसमें 'he is' छूटा है; दोष अगले भाग में है।'delays it if not' looked cut short, as if a verb must follow 'not'. But 'if not accompanied' is a short clause with 'he is' dropped; the fault lies in the next part.
