[The state department announced that only through international treaties can global data privacy be protected, secure our supply chains through physical tracking, and safeguarding domestic critical infrastructure.]
आपने शायद यह सोचाWhat you probably thoughtOption 1 ठीक प्रतीत हुआ क्योंकि इसमें तीन समान clauses (उपवाक्य) बनते हैं। परंतु 'physical tracking' पृथक कथन बन जाता है, अतः 'only through treaties' आपूर्ति शृंखला और अवसंरचना पर लागू नहीं रहता।Option 1 seemed right because it makes three matching clauses. But it turns 'physical tracking' into a separate claim, so 'only through treaties' no longer covers the supply chains and infrastructure.
आपने शायद यह सोचाWhat you probably thoughtOption 3 ठीक प्रतीत हुआ क्योंकि 'shall be secured' औपचारिक लगता है। परंतु अंत में 'and safeguarding' ही है, अतः रूप मिश्रित रहते हैं।Option 3 seemed right because 'shall be secured' looks formal. But it still ends with 'and safeguarding', so the forms remain mixed.
आपने शायद यह सोचाWhat you probably thought'No improvement required' ठीक प्रतीत हुआ क्योंकि प्रत्येक अंश का अर्थ अलग-अलग ठीक है। परंतु तीनों वस्तुएँ तीन रूपों में हैं: passive clause (उपवाक्य), bare verb और -ing रूप।'No improvement required' seemed right because each part makes sense alone. But the three items are in three forms: passive clause, bare verb and -ing form.
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (B) The state department announced that we can protect global data privacy only through international treaties, secure our supply chains through physical tracking, and safeguard domestic critical infrastructure.
तीनों कार्य एक ही सूची में हैं, अतः उनका रूप समान होना चाहिए। मूल वाक्य में passive clause (be protected), bare verb (secure) तथा *-ing* रूप (safeguarding) मिले हुए हैं।
Option 2 में तीन समान verbs हैं: we can protect ..., secure ..., and safeguard ...।
✓
The state department announced that we can protect global data privacy only through international treaties, secure our supply chains through physical tracking, and safeguard domestic critical infrastructure.
Option 1 दूसरे और तीसरे कार्य को पृथक कथनों में बदल देता है, इसलिए only through treaties उन पर लागू नहीं रहता; option 3 में मिश्रित रूप ज्यों के त्यों हैं।
सरल अर्थ: राज्य विभाग ने घोषणा की कि हम वैश्विक डेटा गोपनीयता की रक्षा केवल अंतरराष्ट्रीय संधियों से कर सकते हैं, आपूर्ति शृंखला को सुरक्षित कर सकते हैं तथा महत्वपूर्ण घरेलू अवसंरचना की रक्षा कर सकते हैं।
The three actions are listed together, so they must have the same form. The original mixes a passive clause (be protected), a bare verb (secure) and an *-ing* form (safeguarding).
Option 2 gives three matching verbs: we can protect ..., secure ..., and safeguard ....
✓
The state department announced that we can protect global data privacy only through international treaties, secure our supply chains through physical tracking, and safeguard domestic critical infrastructure.
Option 1 turns the second and third items into separate claims, so only through treaties no longer covers them; option 3 keeps the mixed forms.
