English Explanation / स्पष्टीकरण:
Correct Answer: Option (4) Sir Surendranath was one of the greatest Indian orators
Explanation:
The question tests converting an 'at least as great as' construction into the superlative degree without distorting its meaning.
Detailed Analysis:
1.
Base sentence: *"Sir Surendranath was at least as great an orator as any other Indian."*
2.
Meaning: He ranks among the foremost Indian orators; the statement does not assert that he uniquely eclipsed all others.
3.
Therefore, the superlative degree must express shared elite status:
•
*"Sir Surendranath was one of the greatest Indian orators."* (Option 4).
4.
Option (1) claims exclusive unique supremacy (*the greatest*), altering the original propositional meaning.
5.
Hence, Option (4) is correct.
