Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

A & C only

The correct answer is Option (2) - A & C only

• A. "The schools will be closed for the Pooja holidays."  (Correct)

  • "The schools" is correct when referring to a specific set of schools, and "the Pooja holidays" is appropriate if it refers to a well-known holiday period.

• B. "The Ganga is the sacred river in India."  (Incorrect)

  • It should be "The Ganga is a sacred river in India." because India has multiple sacred rivers, not just one.

• C. "English is the language of the people of England."  (Correct)

  • "The language" is correct because it refers specifically to the primary language spoken by the people of England.

• D. "Wild animals suffer if kept in a captivity."  (Incorrect)

  • It should be "in captivity" instead of "in a captivity" since "captivity" is an uncountable noun.

• E. "You should take care of poor and weak."  (Incorrect)

  • It should be "the poor and the weak" because we use "the" with adjectives to refer to a whole group (e.g., "the rich," "the elderly").
