Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
There is no truth in ______ claims even though they have been cleverly stated.
आपने शायद यह सोचाWhat you probably thought'thus' दावों संबंधी औपचारिक वाक्य में उचित प्रतीत हुआ। परंतु 'thus' adverb (क्रियाविशेषण) है जिसका अर्थ 'इस प्रकार' है, और यह plural noun 'claims' की ओर संकेत नहीं कर सकता; 'these' आवश्यक है।'thus' seemed to fit a formal sentence about claims. But 'thus' is an adverb meaning 'in this way', and cannot point to the plural noun 'claims'; 'these' is needed.
आपने शायद यह सोचाWhat you probably thought'there' ध्वनि में 'these' के निकट प्रतीत हुआ, और वाक्य 'There is' से आरंभ होता है। परंतु 'there' स्थानवाचक adverb (क्रियाविशेषण) है; 'claims' की ओर संकेत करने के लिए demonstrative 'these' आवश्यक है।'there' looked close to 'these' in sound, and the sentence starts with 'There is'. But 'there' is an adverb of place; to point at 'claims' we need the demonstrative 'these'.
आपने शायद यह सोचाWhat you probably thought'supposed' से ऐसे दावों का भाव प्रतीत हुआ जिन्हें केवल सत्य माना जाता है। परंतु 'supposed claims' आगे के 'they have been cleverly stated' से मेल नहीं खाता, जो ज्ञात दावों की बात करता है; 'these' आवश्यक है।'supposed' seemed to give the sense of claims that are only assumed to be true. But 'supposed claims' does not match 'they have been cleverly stated', which refers to known claims; 'these' is needed.
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (D) these
Noun claims बहुवचन है, और बाद का clause (उपवाक्य) they have been cleverly stated बताता है कि ये claims (दावे) वक्ता के सामने पहले से ज्ञात हैं।
Concept: किसी निश्चित plural noun (बहुवचन संज्ञा) की ओर इशारा करने पर these + plural noun आता है।
✓
There is no truth in these claims even though they have been cleverly stated.
Tempting wrong option supposed किसी विशेष claims की ओर इशारा नहीं करता, इसलिए बाद के they का कोई निश्चित संदर्भ नहीं बनता।
सरल अर्थ: ये दावे भले ही चतुराई से कहे गए हों, फिर भी इनमें कोई सच्चाई नहीं है।
The noun claims is plural, and the later clause says they have been cleverly stated, so the claims are already known to the speaker.
Concept: a plural noun pointed at takes these + plural noun.
✓
There is no truth in these claims even though they have been cleverly stated.
Tempting wrong option: supposed does not point to any particular claims, so the following they has nothing definite to refer to.
