Identify the error in the sentence from among the word segments given in bold letters:
The classic literature professor explained that the author’s latest prose was intentionally confusing, which allowed for multi-varied interpretations of the text by contemporary critics and casual readers alike.
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (C) multi-varied interpretations
Concept (Redundant Formation: Multi-varied)
'Varied' का अर्थ पहले से 'अनेक प्रकार का' है। 'Multi-varied' English में मानक शब्द नहीं है; यह अनावश्यक (redundant) और त्रुटिपूर्ण रचना है।
इसके स्थान पर 'varied' या 'multiple' आना चाहिए।
शुद्ध वाक्य: ...which allowed for varied interpretations of the text by contemporary critics and casual readers alike.
Exam trap: 'multi-varied' को मानक रचना मान लेना।
Concept (Redundant Formation: Multi-varied)
'Varied' already means 'of many kinds'. 'Multi-varied' is not a standard English word in any case; it is a redundant and faulty formation.
It should be replaced by 'varied' or 'multiple'.
Correct sentence: ...which allowed for varied interpretations of the text by contemporary critics and casual readers alike.
Exam trap: treating 'multi-varied' as a standard formation.
