Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blanks.
The bulletin reported that the cyclone ______ landfall by dawn, that the coast ______ evacuated, and that relief camps ______ ready.
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (D) would make / would be / would be kept
Concept (Reported Future में 'Would'): Reporting verb 'reported' Past में हो तो reported clause में 'will' बदलकर 'would' हो जाता है और Present Tense Past में बदल जाता है। तीनों clauses भविष्य की बात बताती हैं, अतः तीनों में 'would' रहेगा: would make landfall, would be evacuated, would be kept ready।
विकल्प (a) में 'will' नहीं बदला गया, विकल्प (b) में Present Tense बना रहा, और विकल्प (c) में 'be' के साथ 'would' नहीं है।
Exam trap: 'will' या Present Tense वाले विकल्प।
Concept (Reported Future with 'Would'): When the reporting verb 'reported' is in the past tense, 'will' in the reported clause changes to 'would', and the present tense shifts to the past. All three clauses describe the future, so 'would' stays in each: would make landfall, would be evacuated, would be kept ready.
Option (a) keeps 'will' unchanged. Option (b) keeps the present tense. Option (c) lacks 'would' before 'be kept'.
Exam trap: the options with 'will' or a present tense.
