Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → (A) and (C) only
(A) The poor in our district now get free rice and wheat every month. — Correct.
- “The” + an adjective such as “poor” stands for a whole group of people, so it takes a plural verb.
- So “the poor” rightly takes get.
(B) At the mela, the chaat stall was the most busiest of all. — Incorrect.
- “Busiest” is already the superlative form, so “most” must not be added before it.
- Correct form: At the mela, the chaat stall was the busiest of all.
(C) The sun had already set when our bus reached the hill village. — Correct.
- Of two past actions, the one that happened first takes the past perfect.
- The sun set before the bus reached the village, so had already set is right.
(D) We will start the puja as soon as Nani will arrive from Jaipur. — Incorrect.
- After time words like “as soon as”, “when” and “before”, the simple present is used for a future action, not “will”.
- Correct form: We will start the puja as soon as Nani arrives from Jaipur.
