Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (C) and objectively assessment
Concept (Parallelism: Adjective and Adverb): 'and' द्वारा जुड़े शब्द एक ही Part of Speech के होने चाहिए (Parallelism)। यहाँ 'balanced' Adjective है, जबकि उसके बाद 'objectively' Adverb रखा गया है; दोनों को Noun 'assessment' का वर्णन करना है।
अतः 'objectively' के स्थान पर Adjective 'objective' आना चाहिए।
✓ शुद्ध वाक्य: The author offered an unusually balanced and objective assessment of the historical events.
Examiner का trap यह है कि 'objectively' को 'balanced' के समान Adverb मानकर Parallelism (समानांतरता) भंग कर दिया जाए।
Concept (Parallelism: Adjective and Adverb): words joined by 'and' must belong to the same part of speech. Here 'balanced' is an adjective, but 'objectively' is an adverb, while both are meant to describe the noun 'assessment'.
Hence 'objectively' must be replaced by the adjective 'objective'.
✓ Correct sentence: The author offered an unusually balanced and objective assessment of the historical events.
Exam trap: treating the adverb 'objectively' as equal to 'balanced', which breaks the parallelism.
