Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → (B) and (C) only
(A) Sonal lacks confidence when she has to speak on stage. — Correct.
- The verb “lacks” is followed directly by the thing that is missing.
- So “lacks confidence” is right.
(B) My cousin Dev, who studies in Class 8, he lives next door to us. — Incorrect.
- The subject of this sentence is “My cousin Dev”.
- The word “he” names the same subject a second time, so it is extra.
- Correct form: My cousin Dev, who studies in Class 8, lives next door to us.
(C) I am agree with Ritu that the picnic should be in Lonavala. — Incorrect.
- “Agree” is a verb, so it is not used after “am”.
- Correct form: I agree with Ritu that the picnic should be in Lonavala.
(D) Papa has gone to Kochi and will be back on Sunday. — Correct.
- “Has gone to” means a person went to a place and is still there.
- Papa is away now and will come back on Sunday, so “has gone” is right.
