Choose the sentence that is incorrect in active voice.
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (C) The novel comprises of twelve interconnected chapters.
Concept (Verb 'Comprise' के बाद 'of' नहीं): 'comprise' स्वयं एक Transitive Verb है, जिसका अर्थ है 'सम्मिलित करना / से बना होना'। इसलिए इसके बाद 'of' नहीं आता। (हम 'is composed of' या 'consists of' कह सकते हैं।)
अतः 'The novel comprises of twelve interconnected chapters' ग़लत है; शुद्ध रूप 'The novel comprises twelve interconnected chapters' है।
शेष तीनों वाक्य व्याकरण की दृष्टि से सही हैं।
Examiner का trap: 'comprises of' लिखना ही इसका जाल है।
Concept (Verb 'Comprise' without 'of'): 'comprise' is itself a transitive verb, meaning 'to include or consist of'. So it is not followed by 'of'. (We may say 'is composed of' or 'consists of'.)
Hence, 'The novel comprises of twelve interconnected chapters' is wrong; the correct form is 'The novel comprises twelve interconnected chapters'.
The other three sentences are grammatically correct.
Exam trap: writing 'comprises of'.
