Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
The child requested his mother to / gave him a big chocolate because he / had been very good all day / long and deserved a treat.
आपने शायद यह सोचाWhat you probably thought'The child requested his mother to' में 'asked' आवश्यक प्रतीत हुआ। परंतु 'request + object + to + V1' शुद्ध संरचना है; दोष 'to' के बाद 'gave' में है।'The child requested his mother to' seemed to need 'asked'. But 'request + object + to + V1' is a correct pattern; the error is 'gave' after 'to'.
आपने शायद यह सोचाWhat you probably thought'had been very good all day' में 'was' आवश्यक प्रतीत हुआ। परंतु past perfect (पूर्ण भूत काल) पहले के व्यवहार को दर्शाता है और शुद्ध है; दोष 'gave' में है।'had been very good all day' seemed to need 'was'. But the past perfect shows earlier behaviour and is fine; the error is 'gave'.
आपने शायद यह सोचाWhat you probably thought'long and deserved a treat.' 'had been' से बेमेल प्रतीत हुआ। परंतु 'deserved' यहाँ स्वीकार्य है, अतः वास्तविक दोष 'to' के बाद 'gave' में है।'long and deserved a treat.' looked mismatched with 'had been'. But 'deserved' is acceptable here, so the real error is 'gave' after 'to'.
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (B) gave him a big chocolate because he
requested his mother to gave में to के बाद V2 (gave) आया है, जबकि यहाँ base form (मूल रूप) V1 (give) होना चाहिए।
Concept: request + object + to + V1 का ढाँचा है, इसलिए यहाँ to give आएगा।

The child requested his mother to give him a big chocolate because he had been very good all day long and deserved a treat.
Part (c) had been very good एक सही past perfect (पूर्ण भूत काल) है, जो पहले हुए अच्छे व्यवहार को दर्शाता है।

requested his mother to gave has V2 after to.
Concept: request + object + to + V1: to give.

The child requested his mother to give him a big chocolate because he had been very good all day long and deserved a treat.
