The architectural design of the new international airport / is not only more aesthetically pleasing but also / more functional than the previous old terminal / No error
आपने शायद यह सोचाWhat you probably thoughtपहला segment अशुद्ध प्रतीत हुआ क्योंकि 'architectural design' लंबा कर्ता है। परंतु कर्ता स्पष्ट और एकवचन है, और अगले segment का 'is' उससे मेल खाता है।The first segment seemed wrong because 'architectural design' is a long subject. But the subject is clear and singular, and the verb 'is' in the next segment agrees with it.
आपने शायद यह सोचाWhat you probably thoughtदूसरा segment अशुद्ध प्रतीत हुआ क्योंकि 'not only ... but also' दो segments में बँट गया है। परंतु 'not only more aesthetically pleasing but also more functional' में दोनों ओर समान रूप हैं, अतः यह शुद्ध है।The second segment seemed wrong because 'not only ... but also' splits across segments. But 'not only more aesthetically pleasing but also more functional' has matching forms on both sides, so it is correct.
आपने शायद यह सोचाWhat you probably thought'No error' ठीक प्रतीत हुआ क्योंकि प्रत्येक शब्द अकेले शुद्ध है। परंतु वाक्य design की तुलना terminal से करता है, और 'previous old' में बात दोहराई गई है।'No error' seemed right because every word is correct on its own. But the sentence compares a design with a terminal, and 'previous old' repeats the idea.
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (C) more functional than the previous old terminal
तुलना असमान वस्तुओं के बीच है: नए airport के design की तुलना terminal से की गई है। समान की तुलना समान से होनी चाहिए: than that of the previous terminal। Previous old में पुनरुक्ति भी है, क्योंकि previous का अर्थ ही पूर्ववर्ती है।
✓
The architectural design of the new international airport is not only more aesthetically pleasing but also more functional than that of the previous terminal.
Segments (a) तथा (b) शुद्ध हैं; not only ... but also संतुलित है।
सरल अर्थ: नए अंतरराष्ट्रीय हवाई अड्डे का वास्तु-डिज़ाइन पिछले terminal के डिज़ाइन से न केवल अधिक सुंदर बल्कि अधिक उपयोगी भी है।
The comparison is between unlike things: the design of the new airport is compared with the terminal. Like must be compared with like: than that of the previous terminal. The phrase previous old is also repetitive, since previous already means earlier.
✓
The architectural design of the new international airport is not only more aesthetically pleasing but also more functional than that of the previous terminal.
Segments (a) and (b) are correct; not only ... but also is balanced.
