Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
Only when the panel had concluded its year-long investigation ________ the depth of regulatory oversight failures become apparent.
आपने शायद यह सोचाWhat you probably thought'has' परिणाम के वर्तमान से संबंध के कारण उचित लगा। परंतु 'Only when…' से आरंभ होने पर main clause (मुख्य उपवाक्य) में 'did' आता है, जिसके बाद 'become' V1 में है।'has' seems right because 'become apparent' is a present perfect-like result. But 'Only when…' at the start needs the auxiliary 'did' before the subject, and 'has' would not match 'had concluded'.
आपने शायद यह सोचाWhat you probably thought'had' पहले clause (उपवाक्य) के past perfect (पूर्ण भूत काल) के कारण उचित लगा। परंतु main clause (मुख्य उपवाक्य) में 'become' मूल रूप में है, जिसके लिए 'did' आता है।'had' seems right because the first clause already uses 'had concluded'. But the main clause is a simple past event with 'become' in V1, which needs 'did', not 'had'.
आपने शायद यह सोचाWhat you probably thought'was' एकवचन 'depth' के अनुरूप लगा। परंतु 'was' के साथ 'become' का रूप नहीं बैठता; यहाँ 'did' + मूल क्रिया चाहिए।'was' agrees with a singular 'depth', so it looked right. But after 'was' the verb 'become' would have to be V3, and an inverted past clause needs 'did + V1'.
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (B) did
Only when वाला उपवाक्य अधीन उपवाक्य है और सामान्य रहता है। उलटाव मुख्य उपवाक्य में जाता है: did + कर्ता + V1।
✓
Only when the panel had concluded its year-long investigation did the depth of regulatory oversight failures become apparent.
The only when clause is the subordinate clause and stays normal. The inversion goes to the main clause: did + subject + V1.

A'has' परिणाम के वर्तमान से संबंध के कारण उचित लगा। परंतु 'Only when…' से आरंभ होने पर main clause (मुख्य उपवाक्य) में 'did' आता है, जिसके बाद 'become' V1 में है।'has' seems right because 'become apparent' is a present perfect-like result. But 'Only when…' at the start needs the auxiliary 'did' before the subject, and 'has' would not match 'had concluded'.
C'had' पहले clause (उपवाक्य) के past perfect (पूर्ण भूत काल) के कारण उचित लगा। परंतु main clause (मुख्य उपवाक्य) में 'become' मूल रूप में है, जिसके लिए 'did' आता है।'had' seems right because the first clause already uses 'had concluded'. But the main clause is a simple past event with 'become' in V1, which needs 'did', not 'had'.
D'was' एकवचन 'depth' के अनुरूप लगा। परंतु 'was' के साथ 'become' का रूप नहीं बैठता; यहाँ 'did' + मूल क्रिया चाहिए।'was' agrees with a singular 'depth', so it looked right. But after 'was' the verb 'become' would have to be V3, and an inverted past clause needs 'did + V1'.
