Sujata [has not and can never] in the good books of her principal as she lacks honesty.

Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation

Answer: (A) has not been and can never be

has और can दोनों helping verbs (सहायक क्रिया) के साथ main verb (मुख्य क्रिया) का रूप अलग चाहिए: has not been (V3) और can never be (V1)। इसलिए main verb को दो बार, अपने-अपने रूप में लिखना पड़ता है।

Sujata has not been and can never be in the good books of her principal as she lacks honesty.
सरल अर्थ: सुजाता न अब तक प्रिंसिपल की प्रिय रही है और न कभी हो सकती है, क्योंकि उसमें ईमानदारी की कमी है।
The two helping verbs has and can need different forms of the main verb: has not been (V3) and can never be (V1). So the main verb is written twice, each in its own form.
✓
Sujata has not been and can never be in the good books of her principal as she lacks honesty.

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

B'can never been' 'has not been' जैसा ठीक लगा। पर 'can' के साथ V1 आता है, इसलिए उसके बाद 'been' ग़लत है।'can never been' seemed fine as a copy of 'has not been'. But 'can' takes V1, so 'been' is wrong after it.
C'has not be' 'can never be' जैसा ठीक लगा। पर 'has' के साथ V3 आता है, इसलिए उसके बाद 'be' ग़लत है।'has not be' seemed fine as a copy of 'can never be'. But 'has' takes V3, so 'be' is wrong after it.
D'has not be and can never been' में दोनों रूप उलटे हैं। 'has' के साथ V3 और 'can' के साथ V1 आता है।'has not be and can never been' swaps both forms. 'has' needs V3 and 'can' needs V1, the other way round.
