Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → (B) and (D) only
(A) For the housewarming puja, Maasi ordered four dozens ladoos from the sweet shop. — Incorrect.
- The given sentence says “four dozens ladoos”.
- After a number, “dozen” stays singular.
- Correct form: For the housewarming puja, Maasi ordered four dozen ladoos from the sweet shop.
(B) An MLA from our district came to give away the prizes on Sports Day. — Correct.
- We choose “a” or “an” by the first sound, not the first letter.
- “MLA” begins with the sound “em”, a vowel sound, so it takes “an”.
(C) The guard at the museum made us to leave our bags at the counter. — Incorrect.
- The given sentence says “made us to leave”.
- After “make” + a person, the next verb comes without “to”.
- Correct form: The guard at the museum made us leave our bags at the counter.
(D) Nobody in the class knew whose tiffin box was left on the school bus. — Correct.
- “Whose” shows that something belongs to someone. Here it asks which person owned the tiffin box.
