Which of the following sentences is correctly formed?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → My aunt will fly to Dubai next Friday for her new job.
Place before time:
- When a sentence has a word of place and a word of time, the place comes first.
- Here “to Dubai” tells the place and “next Friday” tells the time, so the order is fly to Dubai next Friday.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 2: Tara’s new bicycle is the same colour like mine. — Incorrect. The option says “the same colour like mine”. “The same” is followed by “as”, not “like”.
Corrected: Tara’s new bicycle is the same colour as mine.
Option 3: The two last pages of my rough notebook were torn out. — Incorrect. The option says “the two last pages”. A word like “first” or “last” comes before the number.
Corrected: The last two pages of my rough notebook were torn out.
Option 4: So steep the climb to the temple was that Dadi had to rest twice. — Incorrect. The option says “So steep the climb to the temple was”. When a sentence starts with “So” + adjective, the verb comes before the subject.
Corrected: So steep was the climb to the temple that Dadi had to rest twice.
