Choose the grammatically correct sentence:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Dhruv has not decided whether he will take science or commerce in Class 11.
“Whether ... or”:
- “Whether” shows a choice between two things. Its partner word is “or”.
- Here whether he will take science or commerce gives Dhruv’s two choices.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: Dhruv has not decided whether he will take science nor commerce in Class 11. — Incorrect. The option says “whether ... nor”. “Nor” goes with “neither”, not with “whether”.
Option 2: Dhruv has not decided whether he will take science either commerce in Class 11. — Incorrect. The option says “science either commerce”. “Either” cannot join the two choices. After “whether”, they are joined by “or”.
Option 4: Dhruv has not decided whether he will take science but commerce in Class 11. — Incorrect. The option says “science but commerce”. “But” shows a contrast, not a choice. After “whether”, the two choices are joined by “or”.
