Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → (B) and (C) only
(A) My grandmother cannot cope up with the noise of the new flyover. — Incorrect.
- The phrase is “cope with”, which means to manage something hard. It takes no “up”.
- Correct form: My grandmother cannot cope with the noise of the new flyover.
(B) More than one boy in our class has a cycle with gears. — Correct.
- “More than one” is followed by a singular noun and a singular verb.
- So “more than one boy” rightly takes has.
(C) If Nikhil had started earlier, he would have caught the 7:15 local. — Correct.
- An “if” sentence about the past takes had + past participle (V3) in the “if” part and would have + V3 in the other part.
- Both parts here follow this pattern.
(D) All visitors must to leave their shoes outside the gurudwara hall. — Incorrect.
- “Must” is followed by the base form of the verb, with no “to” before it.
- Correct form: All visitors must leave their shoes outside the gurudwara hall.
