Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → (B) and (D) only
(A) Good morning, everyone. Myself Tanvi, and I will host today’s assembly. — Incorrect.
- The given sentence says “Myself Tanvi”.
- “Myself” cannot be used to introduce yourself. We say “I am” + name.
- Correct form: Good morning, everyone. I am Tanvi, and I will host today’s assembly.
(B) My grandmother has been suffering from knee pain since the winter began. — Correct.
- A person suffers from an illness or a pain.
(C) My little brother is wanting a red kite for Makar Sankranti this year. — Incorrect.
- The given sentence says “is wanting”.
- “Want” shows a wish, not an action, so it is not used in the -ing form.
- Correct form: My little brother wants a red kite for Makar Sankranti this year.
(D) Unless the guard waves the green flag, the train cannot leave the platform. — Correct.
- “Unless” means “if not”, so no “not” is added after it.
