Choose the most suitable option to replace the highlighted part of the sentence
They reached the station in time to catch the train.
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (A) just in time to catch the train
Concept (Phrase: Just in Time) 'In time' का अर्थ समय रहते पहुँचना है, जबकि just in time का भाव 'ठीक सही समय पर, अंतिम क्षण में' है। विकल्प B और D गलत प्रयोग हैं, और विकल्प C में 'for catching' असहज संरचना है। अतः सही विकल्प 'just in time to catch the train' है।
✓ सही वाक्य: They reached the station just in time to catch the train.
Examiner का जाल यह है कि on time और in time को एक ही मान लेना सबसे बड़ा जाल है।
Concept (Phrase: Just in Time) 'In time to catch the train' means arriving with enough time to spare, while just in time carries the sense of 'at exactly the right moment, at the last minute'. B and D are wrongly used, and in C, 'for catching' is an unnatural structure.
✓ Correct sentence They reached the station just in time to catch the train.
Examiner's Trap The trap is to treat on time and in time as the same.
