Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → (A) and (C) only
(A) Who do you think will be chosen as the captain of the school kabaddi team? — Correct.
- “Who” is the subject of “will be chosen”.
- “Do you think” only comes in between, so “who” stays (not “whom”).
(B) Neither the canteen or the stationery shop is open on Sundays. — Incorrect.
- The given sentence says “Neither ... or”.
- “Neither” always pairs with “nor”.
- Correct form: Neither the canteen nor the stationery shop is open on Sundays.
(C) The new mixer-grinder is inferior to the old one in every way. — Correct.
- “Inferior” is followed by “to”, not “than”.
(D) Ritu has still not finished to pack her bags for the hostel. — Incorrect.
- The given sentence says “finished to pack”.
- “Finish” is followed by the -ing form of a verb, not by “to” + verb.
- Correct form: Ritu has still not finished packing her bags for the hostel.
