Choose the most suitable option to replace the highlighted part of the sentence
He is used to work hard every day.
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (B) is used to working hard
Concept (Be Used To + V-ing) Be used to का अर्थ 'अभ्यस्त होना' है, और उसके बाद V-ing (gerund) आता है, क्योंकि यहाँ to preposition है। Used to + V1 बीते समय की आदत बताता है, जबकि every day वर्तमान आदत का संकेत देता है। Hardly का अर्थ 'मुश्किल से' होता है, इसलिए विकल्प C गलत है। अतः सही विकल्प 'is used to working hard' है।
✓ सही वाक्य: He is used to working hard every day.
Examiner का जाल यह है कि be used to और used to मिलते-जुलते हैं, इसलिए छात्र उनके अर्थ और उनके बाद आने वाले रूपों में भ्रम करते हैं।
Concept (Be Used To + V-ing) Be used to means 'accustomed to', and it is followed by V-ing (gerund) because to is a preposition here. Used to + V1 refers to a past habit, whereas every day points to a present habit. Hardly means 'scarcely', so C is wrong.
✓ Correct sentence He is used to working hard every day.
Examiner's Trap Be used to and used to look alike, so students confuse their different meanings and the forms that follow.
