Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → (B) and (C) only
(A) Although Tanvi left home early, but she missed the school bus. — Incorrect.
- The given sentence says “Although ..., but”.
- “Although” already joins the two parts, so “but” must go.
- Correct form: Although Tanvi left home early, she missed the school bus.
(B) The roads of Chandigarh are wider than those of the old city of Amritsar. — Correct.
- Roads must be compared with roads, not with a city.
- “Those of” stands for “the roads of”, so the sentence compares like with like.
(C) Our coach makes us practise the cover drive for an hour every morning. — Correct.
- “Practise” with an “s” is the verb, and “practice” with a “c” is the noun.
- Here the word is a verb after “makes us”, so “practise” is correct.
(D) The villagers rose their hands when the sarpanch asked who wanted a new hand pump. — Incorrect.
- The given sentence says “rose their hands”.
- “Rise” takes no object, but here the villagers lift something, so the verb must be “raised”.
- Correct form: The villagers raised their hands when the sarpanch asked who wanted a new hand pump.
