Select the option that is grammatically correct:

The correct answer is Option (4) → Sister Mary cleaned the wound gently and gave the little boy a toffee.

Verb + object + adverb:

• An adverb such as “gently” does not come between a verb and its object.
• Here the verb “cleaned” is followed straight by its object “the wound”, and “gently” comes after it: cleaned the wound gently.

Why the Other Options are Incorrect?

Option 1: Under no circumstances you should share your bank OTP with a caller. — Incorrect. The option says “Under no circumstances you should”. When a sentence starts with “Under no circumstances”, the helping verb comes before the subject.
Corrected: Under no circumstances should you share your bank OTP with a caller.

Option 2: The water supply in our colony comes between six to eight in the morning. — Incorrect. The option says “between six to eight”. “Between” is always paired with “and”.
Corrected: The water supply in our colony comes between six and eight in the morning.

Option 3: The pressure cooker was whistling loudly, so Maa turned off it. — Incorrect. The option says “turned off it”. When the object of “turn off” is a pronoun, the pronoun goes between the two words.
Corrected: The pressure cooker was whistling loudly, so Maa turned it off.
