Select the option that is grammatically correct:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Did the doctor say anything serious about Dadi’s report?
Adjective after “anything”:
- Words like something, anything, nothing, someone and nobody take the adjective after them, not before them.
- So we say anything serious, not “serious anything”.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: Did the doctor say serious anything about Dadi’s report? — Incorrect. The adjective “serious” comes before “anything”. It must come after it.
Option 2: Did the doctor say anything of serious about Dadi’s report? — Incorrect. The option adds “of”. The adjective comes straight after “anything”, with no “of” between them.
Option 4: Did the doctor say a serious anything about Dadi’s report? — Incorrect. “Anything” does not take “a” or an adjective before it.
