Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the sentence.

The people of Japan are (wiser than America.)

Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation

Answer: (B) wiser than those of America.

The people of Japan की तुलना America यानी एक देश से हो रही है, जो समान नहीं है। दूसरी ओर the people of America होना चाहिए। पहली संज्ञा people बहुवचन है, इसलिए प्रतिस्थापक those of होगा, that of नहीं।
✓
The people of Japan are wiser than those of America.
सरल अर्थ: जापान के लोग अमेरिका के लोगों से अधिक समझदार हैं।
The people of Japan are compared with America, a country, which is unequal. The second side must be the people of America. The first noun people is plural, so the stand-in is those of, not that of.
✓
The people of Japan are wiser than those of America.

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

A'wiser than that of America' में 'of' वाली सही स्थानापन्न संरचना है। परंतु 'people' बहुवचन है, अतः स्थानापन्न 'those of' होगा, 'that of' नहीं।'wiser than that of America' has the right 'of' stand-in pattern. But 'people' is plural, so the stand-in must be 'those of', not 'that of'.
C'wiser to that of America' में 'superior to' जैसे शब्दों का 'to' लिया गया। परंतु 'wiser' के बाद 'than' आता है, और बहुवचन 'people' के लिए स्थानापन्न 'those of' होगा।'wiser to that of America' borrowed 'to' from words like 'superior to'. But 'wiser' is followed by 'than', and the stand-in must be 'those of' for the plural 'people'.
D'wiser than America' स्वाभाविक लगता है, इसलिए 'No improvement' आकर्षक प्रतीत हुआ। परंतु इसमें Japan के लोगों की तुलना एक देश से है; 'than those of America' होना चाहिए।'wiser than America' sounds natural, so 'No improvement' tempts. But it compares the people of Japan with a country; it must be 'than those of America'.
