Identify the incorrect sentence.
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (A) Did they sent me any books for preparation of examination.
सहायक क्रिया do, does या did के बाद मुख्य verb सदैव मूल रूप (V1) में आता है। अतः ‘Did they sent’ के स्थान पर ‘Did they send’ आना चाहिए। यह प्रश्न है, इसलिए अंत में प्रश्नवाचक चिह्न भी आवश्यक है।
✓ शुद्ध वाक्य: Did they send me any books for the preparation of the examination?
▸ विकल्प (b) — बहुवचन ‘reactions’ के साथ ‘have been’ सही है। (‘favorable’ अमेरिकी वर्तनी है।)
▸ विकल्प (c) — मुख्य संज्ञा ‘author’ एकवचन है, इसलिए ‘is’ सही है।
▸ विकल्प (d) — बहुवचन ‘lines’ के साथ ‘are’ सही है।
Concept (auxiliary do, does, did): after do, does or did, the main verb is always in the base form (V1). So ‘Did they sent’ must become ‘Did they send’. Because it is a question, it also needs a question mark at the end.
✓ Correct sentence: Did they send me any books for the preparation of the examination?
▸ (b) Reactions to the annual play have been favorable. The plural ‘reactions’ takes ‘have been’, which is correct. (‘Favorable’ is the American spelling.)
▸ (c) The author of the stories in these books is Mary Gomes. The head noun ‘author’ is singular, so ‘is’ is correct.
▸ (d) Many lines in the poem are especially good. The plural ‘lines’ takes ‘are’, which is correct.
