Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → (A) and (D) only
(A) Such was the rush at the Ganesh pandal that the police closed the road by six. — Correct.
- “Such ... that” shows a result.
- When a sentence begins with “Such”, the verb comes before the subject: “Such was the rush”.
(B) Both the bride’s father as well as her uncle stood at the gate to welcome the guests. — Incorrect.
- “Both” goes with “and”, not with “as well as”.
- Correct form: Both the bride’s father and her uncle stood at the gate to welcome the guests.
(C) Since the last ferry was cancelled, therefore we spent the night in Alibaug. — Incorrect.
- “Since” already joins the two parts and gives the reason.
- Adding “therefore” puts a second joining word in the same link.
- Correct form: Since the last ferry was cancelled, we spent the night in Alibaug.
(D) Neither did Kavya call, nor did she send a message after the result. — Correct.
- “Neither” goes with “nor”.
- When a part begins with “Neither” or “nor”, the helping verb comes before the subject: “did Kavya call”, “did she send”.
