Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (A) These shoes designed
designed अकेला These shoes का verb नहीं हो सकता; passive (कर्मवाच्य) में V3 से पहले एक helping verb (सहायक क्रिया) आवश्यक है।
Concept: passive = be + V3 (are designed) का नियम है।
✓
These shoes are designed for regular runners like yourself.
आकर्षक लगने वाला विकल्प No error है, क्योंकि designed participle (कृदंत) के रूप में भी कार्य कर सकता है, परंतु तब वाक्य में कोई main verb नहीं रहेगा।
सरल अर्थ: ये जूते तुम्हारे जैसे नियमित धावकों के लिए डिज़ाइन किए गए हैं।
designed alone cannot be the verb of These shoes; a passive needs a helping verb before the V3.
Concept: passive = be + V3 (are designed).
✓
These shoes are designed for regular runners like yourself.
No error is tempting because designed can also act as a participle, but then the sentence has no main verb.
