The training programme proved /effective enough to /improve the employees' /technical and professionally skills.
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (D) technical and professionally skills.
Concept (Parallel Adjectives: Technical and Professional): 'and' दो समान प्रकृति के शब्दों को जोड़ता है। 'Skills' एक Noun है, अतः उसकी विशेषता बताने वाले दोनों शब्द Adjective होने चाहिए। 'technical' Adjective है, जबकि 'professionally' Adverb है।
अतः 'professionally' के स्थान पर Adjective 'professional' आएगा।
✓ शुद्ध वाक्य: The training programme proved effective enough to improve the employees' technical and professional skills.
Examiner का trap यह है कि 'professionally' को 'technical' के समान वर्ग का मान लिया जाए।
Concept (Parallel Adjectives: Technical and Professional): 'and' joins two words of the same kind. 'Skills' is a noun, so both words describing it must be adjectives. 'Technical' is an adjective, but 'professionally' is an adverb.
Hence 'professionally' must be replaced by the adjective 'professional'.
✓ Correct sentence: The training programme proved effective enough to improve the employees' technical and professional skills.
Exam trap: treating the adverb 'professionally' as belonging to the same class as 'technical'; both must be adjectives.
