Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → (B) and (D) only
(A) The new steel almirah was too heavy to push it into the corner. — Incorrect.
- The given sentence says “too heavy to push it”.
- “The new steel almirah” is already the subject and the thing pushed, so the extra “it” after “too ... to push” is wrong.
- Correct form: The new steel almirah was too heavy to push into the corner.
(B) Ritika revised the last two chapters of the history textbook on the bus. — Correct.
- A number like “two” comes after “first” or “last”: the last two chapters.
(C) Tara folded neatly her uniform before going to bed. — Incorrect.
- The given sentence says “folded neatly her uniform”.
- An adverb does not come between a verb and its object. “Neatly” goes after the object.
- Correct form: Tara folded her uniform neatly before going to bed.
(D) Little did the auto driver know that his passenger was the new district collector. — Correct.
- When a sentence starts with “Little”, the helping verb comes before the subject: Little did the auto driver know.
- The verb after “did” is the plain form “know”.
