Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → (B) and (D) only
(A) Raghav Chacha drove very careful on the wet ghat road to Mahabaleshwar. — Incorrect.
- A word that tells how someone does an action must be an adverb, not an adjective.
- “Careful” is an adjective, so the way he drove needs the adverb “carefully”.
- Correct form: Raghav Chacha drove very carefully on the wet ghat road to Mahabaleshwar.
(B) The furniture in the staff room was polished before the inspection. — Correct.
- “Furniture” cannot be counted, so it takes a singular verb.
- So “the furniture ... was polished” is right.
(C) Mohan asked the conductor when would the bus reach Jaipur. — Incorrect.
- When a question is reported after “asked”, it is no longer a question, so the subject comes before the verb.
- “When would the bus reach” keeps the question order, so it must become “when the bus would reach”.
- Correct form: Mohan asked the conductor when the bus would reach Jaipur.
(D) The two sisters help each other with their homework every evening. — Correct.
- “Each other” shows that two people do the same thing for one another.
- The sentence is about two sisters, so “each other” is right.
