Select an appropriate option to complete the following sentence. The manager said, “I ______ the final decision by this evening.”
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (B) will announce
Concept (Direct Speech में भावी 'will'): 'by this evening' भविष्य के समय की ओर संकेत करता है, और Manager अपने भावी निर्णय की घोषणा कर रहा है, इसलिए 'will announce' सही है।
✓ शुद्ध वाक्य: The manager said, "I will announce the final decision by this evening."
'announce' Simple Present है, जो आज शाम तक के भावी कार्य के साथ स्वाभाविक नहीं है। 'would announce' Direct Speech (प्रत्यक्ष कथन) में Manager के अपने कथन के लिए उपयुक्त नहीं है। 'had announced' Past Perfect (पूर्ण भूत काल) है।
Examiner का जाल: 'announce' या 'would announce' चुनना।
Concept (Future 'will' in direct speech): 'by this evening' points to a future time, and the manager is announcing his own future decision, so 'will announce' is correct.
✓ Correct sentence: The manager said, "I will announce the final decision by this evening."
'Announce' is in the simple present, which does not suit a future action by this evening. 'Would announce' is not suitable for the manager's own statement in direct speech. 'Had announced' is a past perfect.
Exam trap: choosing 'announce' or 'would announce'.
