Identify the segment in the sentence which contains an error. If there is no error, select 'No error'.

Only in the final manuscript / did the theorist / acknowledges the limitations / of his earlier hypothesis.

Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation

Answer: (C) acknowledges the limitations

Only in the final manuscript से वाक्य शुरू होता है, इसलिए उलटाव आता है: did the theorist। यह सही है।
Did के बाद क्रिया V1 होती है, इसलिए acknowledges को acknowledge होना चाहिए।
✓
Only in the final manuscript did the theorist acknowledge the limitations of his earlier hypothesis.
Only in the final manuscript opens the sentence, so inversion follows: did the theorist. That is right.
After did the verb is V1, so acknowledges becomes acknowledge.
✓
Only in the final manuscript did the theorist acknowledge the limitations of his earlier hypothesis.

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

A'Only in the final manuscript' आरंभ में अपूर्ण अंश जैसा लगा। परंतु 'Only' के साथ phrase (पदबंध) आना शुद्ध प्रयोग है और इसी से inversion आता है; त्रुटि 'acknowledges' में है।'Only in the final manuscript' looks like a fragment as an opener. But 'Only + phrase' is a valid way to begin and is what triggers inversion; the error is 'acknowledges'.
B'did the theorist' में कर्ता सहायक क्रिया के बाद होने से यह अशुद्ध लगा। परंतु 'Only + phrase' के बाद यह क्रम आवश्यक है; त्रुटि 'acknowledges' में है, जो 'did' के बाद V1 होनी चाहिए।'did the theorist' looks suspicious because the subject comes after the helping verb. But that inversion is required after an opening 'Only + phrase'; the real error is 'acknowledges' after 'did'.
D'of his earlier hypothesis' अतिरिक्त अंश जैसा प्रतीत हुआ। परंतु 'limitations of' शुद्ध संयोजन है; वास्तविक त्रुटि 'did' के बाद आई 'acknowledges' में है।'of his earlier hypothesis' may look like an unneeded add-on after 'limitations'. But 'limitations of his hypothesis' is natural; the problem lies earlier, in 'acknowledges' after 'did'.
