Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (B) which was developed over many years, captivated
निर्जीव वस्तु ‘plot’ के लिए relative pronoun ‘which’ आता है, ‘who’ नहीं। साथ ही main verb (मुख्य क्रिया) से पहले ‘it’ को दोबारा नहीं लिखा जाता।
✓ शुद्ध वाक्य: The novel’s intricate plot, which was developed over many years, captivated readers worldwide.
Concept (relative pronouns for things): ‘which’ is used for a non-living thing such as ‘plot’, not ‘who’. The main verb also does not need a repeated ‘it’ before it.
✓ Correct sentence: The novel’s intricate plot, which was developed over many years, captivated readers worldwide.
