View solution with explanation in Hindi
1. The girl filled the pitcher for water.
Answer: B
Explanation: Option ‘B’. Preposition के use की अशुद्धि है. शुद्ध phrase ‘fill something with something’ होता है; जैसे
She filled the bowl with warm water.
2. My hair stood off ends when I saw the horrible sight.
Answer: B
Explanation: Option ‘B’. शुद्ध phrase ‘stand on end’ होता है (‘stand on ends’ नहीं). Stand on end = बहुत ज्यादा डर जाना
3. It became clear that the strangers were heading into a serious disaster.
Answer: C
Explanation: Option ‘C’. Head for = किसी बुरी स्थिति में फँस जाने की सम्भावना होना; जैसे
i) They’re heading for disaster if they’re not careful.
ii) The country is heading for recession.
iii) I’ve told him that he’s heading for trouble, but he doesn’t listen.
iv) You’ll be heading for trouble if you don’t get those brakes fixed.
4. Too much worry is not good for our health.
Answer: D
Explanation: Option ‘D’. जब कोई बात लोगों के लिए harmful होती है तो preposition ‘for’ का भी use किया जा सकता है और ‘to’ का भी. लेकिन जब कोई बात किसी वस्तु (thing) के लिए harmful होती है तो फिर preposition ‘to’ का ही use किया जा सकता है. ‘Health’ एक thing है कोई व्यक्ति नहीं. अतः आप यहाँ इसके पहले preposition ‘for’ का use नहीं कर सकते; अर्थात option ‘B’ अशुद्ध है; जैसे
Too much salt can be harmful for a young baby.
= Too much salt can be harmful to a young baby.
INCOORECT: Excessive amounts may be harmful for the skin.
CORRECT: Excessive amounts may be harmful to the skin.
Option ‘C’ इसलिए अशुद्ध है क्योंकि शब्द ‘hurtful’ का use तब किया जाता है जब कोई किसी बात को लेकर भावनात्मक (emotionally) रूप से ग्रस्त हो; जैसे
i) She can’t forgive him for the hurtful things he said.
ii) Their comments were really hurtful to me.
5. I have seen the movie and she also has.
Answer: B
Explanation: Option ‘B’. ‘I have seen the movie’ एक सकारात्मक कथन (affirmative remark) है. दिए गये वाक्य और answer options के अनुसार ये स्पष्ट है कि इस remark के साथ हमें कुछ सकारात्मक ही कहना है अर्थात इस remark में कोई affirmative addition करना है. ‘Affirmative Remarks’ में Affirmative Additions’ इस प्रकार से किये जाते हैं:
| Subject | + | Helping verb of the remark | + | Too/Also |
| OR | ||||
| So | + | Helping verb of the remark | + | Subject |
a) Mohan would like it and Rahul would too/also.
= Mohan would like it and so would Rahul.
b) Sohan likes to play cricket and Pankaj does too/also.
= Sohan likes to play cricket and so does Pankaj.
c) I’m going to invite her for lunch tomorrow. — I’m too/also.
= I’m going to invite her for lunch tomorrow. — So am I.
इसलिए, इस वाक्य के लिए सिर्फ option ‘B’ ही शुद्ध है.
6. We are looking forward for good rains this year.
Answer: A
Explanation: Option ‘A’. सही phrase ‘looking forward to’ है; ‘looking forward for’ नहीं. Look forward to = जो होने जा रहा है उस बात के लिए खुश या उत्तेजित होना; जैसे
I’m looking forward to the holidays. [मैं होने वाली छुट्टियों को लेकर बड़ा उत्तेजित हूँ. (अर्थात बड़ी बेसब्री से मैं छुट्टियों का इन्तजार कर रहा हूँ.]
7. From among various alternatives we should choose the one which is viable and consumes less time and energy.
Answer: D
8. I was pitying the small children, when I heard that their parents had died in an accident.
Answer: D
Explanation: Option ‘D’. Verb ‘pity’ को continuous form में use नहीं किया जा सकता. Pity = किसी की खराब स्थिति पर दया खाना; किसी से सहानभूति होना
9. It was mere affection that stopped him from beating his son.
Answer: D
Explanation: Option ‘D’. ‘Mere’ = केवल
हिंदी में अनुवाद: ये मात्र (mere) प्रेम ही था जिसने उसको उसके पुत्र को पीटने से रोक दिया.
10. He is ill for a week when his brother came.
Answer: C
Explanation: Option ‘C’). जब किसी वाक्य के एक clause में ‘for + time’ दिया हुआ हो जैसा कि इस वाक्य में ‘for a week’ दिया हुआ है तो वाक्य के दूसरे वाले clause में Present/Past Perfect Tense अथवा Present/Past Perfect Continuous Tense का use किया जाता है. इस वाक्य में clause ‘when his brother came’ से स्पष्ट हो रहा है कि ये कोई past time की घटना है; अतः यहाँ ‘is ill’ के स्थान पर Past Perfect Tense का use होगा; अर्थात ‘had been ill’ का use होगा.
