Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → (A)-(II), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(III)
| List-I | List-II | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| (A) The milkman rings the bell twice every morning. | (II) Transitive verb | “Rings” acts on “the bell”, its object. A verb that takes an object is a transitive verb. |
| (B) The new puppy slept under Dadi’s cot all afternoon. | (IV) Intransitive verb | “Slept” has no object. “Under Dadi’s cot” only tells where. So it is an intransitive verb. |
| (C) The mangoes from our tree tasted sour this year. | (I) Linking verb | “Tasted” joins “the mangoes” to “sour”, a word that describes them. So it is a linking verb. |
| (D) Our neighbours are painting their house for Diwali. | (III) Helping verb | “Are” comes before the main verb “painting” and helps it show an action going on. So it is a helping verb. |
