The teacher explained us the lesson clearly.
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (A) explained the lesson to us
Concept (Explain + Something + To + Person) Explain के साथ सीधे व्यक्ति object के रूप में नहीं आता; संरचना explain + something + to + person होती है। विकल्प B, 'explained to us the lesson', भी संभव लग सकता है, परंतु मानक और स्वाभाविक क्रम विकल्प A का है। अतः सही विकल्प 'explained the lesson to us' है।
✓ सही वाक्य: The teacher explained the lesson to us clearly.
Examiner का जाल यह है कि विकल्प B का शब्द-क्रम असामान्य है, इसलिए मानक रूप A ही सही है।
Concept (Explain + Something + To + Person) Explain is not followed directly by a person as object; the structure is explain + something + to + person. Option B, 'explained to us the lesson', may also seem possible, but the standard, natural word order is that of A.
✓ Correct sentence The teacher explained the lesson to us clearly.
Examiner's Trap In Option B the word order is unusual, so the standard form is A.
