Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → (A), (C) and (D) only
(A) Mumbai is one of the busiest cities in India. — Correct.
- After “one of the” + a word like “busiest”, the noun is plural.
- So “one of the busiest cities” is right.
(B) This is the house where my grandfather was born in. — Incorrect.
- “Where” already means “in which”.
- So the “in” at the end is extra.
- Correct form: This is the house where my grandfather was born.
(C) All the students except Rohit and me went to the science fair. — Correct.
- “Except” is a preposition, so a pronoun after it takes its object form.
- So “except Rohit and me” is right, not “Rohit and I”.
(D) Ritu has been to Ladakh twice with her school trekking club. — Correct.
- “Has been to” means a person visited a place and came back.
- Ritu went to Ladakh and returned, so “has been to” is right.
