Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → (A)-(II), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(III)
| List-I | List-II | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| (A) Kishan milked the buffalo before sunrise. | (II) Transitive verb | “Milked” acts on “the buffalo”, its object. A verb that takes an object is a transitive verb. |
| (B) The baby smiled in her sleep. | (IV) Intransitive verb | “Smiled” has no object. “In her sleep” only tells when. So it is an intransitive verb. |
| (C) After years of hard work, Ravi became a pilot. | (I) Linking verb | “Became” joins “Ravi” to “a pilot”, which names what he is now. So it is a linking verb. |
| (D) Mohan does not drink tea after sunset. | (III) Helping verb | “Does” comes before the main verb “drink” and helps it make the sentence negative. So it is a helping verb. |
