Identify the segment in the sentence which contains an error. If there is no error, select 'No error'.

Let us work out / the details of / our endeavour, / shouldn't we?

Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation

Answer: (D) shouldn't we?

Let us से शुरू होने वाला वाक्य आज्ञार्थक (imperative) होता है, और जब वक्ता साथ मिलकर कुछ करने का सुझाव दे रहा हो तो tag shall we होता है। Shouldn't we नैतिक कर्तव्य वाले कथन का tag है, जो यह नहीं है।
✓
Let us work out the details of our endeavour, shall we?
A sentence that begins with Let us is an imperative, and the tag takes shall we when the speaker is suggesting something to be done together. Shouldn't we is the tag for a statement of moral duty, which this is not.
✓
Let us work out the details of our endeavour, shall we?

बाकी Options उत्तर क्यों नहीं हैंWhy the other options are not the answer

A'Let us work out' गलत प्रतीत हुआ, क्योंकि imperative (आज्ञार्थक) में subject (कर्ता) नहीं दिखता; किंतु "Let us ..." सही आरंभ है, और त्रुटि "shouldn't we?" में है, जो 'shall we?' होना चाहिए।'Let us work out' looked wrong because an imperative seems to lack a subject; but "Let us ..." is a correct start, and the error is "shouldn't we?", which should be 'shall we?'.
B'the details of' अधूरा प्रतीत हुआ; किंतु यह phrase (पदबंध) का मध्य भाग है, और वास्तविक त्रुटि tag "shouldn't we?" में है।'the details of' looked incomplete; but it is only the middle of the phrase, and the real error is the tag "shouldn't we?".
C'our endeavour,' tag से पूर्व के comma (अल्पविराम) के कारण संदिग्ध प्रतीत हुआ; किंतु comma सामान्य है, और त्रुटि tag "shouldn't we?" में है।'our endeavour,' looked doubtful with the comma before the tag; but the comma is normal, and the error is the tag "shouldn't we?".
