English Explanation / स्पष्टीकरण:
Correct Answer: Option (4) 'a' and 'd' only
Grammar Rules and Article Usage:
•
Sentence a: *"He is taking a lunch."*
•
Incorrect. Names of meals (*breakfast, lunch, dinner*) do not take an article in general usage. Correct: *"He is taking lunch."*
•
Sentence b: *"Shakespeare was the greatest dramatist."*
•
Correct. Superlative adjective *greatest* is properly preceded by the definite article *the*.
•
Sentence c: *"We should help the poor."*
•
Correct. *The poor* correctly functions as a plural nominal adjective meaning 'poor people'.
•
Sentence d: *"Mumbai is a capital of Maharashtra."*
•
Incorrect. Since a state has only one unique capital, the definite article *the* is mandatory: *"Mumbai is the capital of Maharashtra."*
•
The question asks for the incorrect sentences; hence, 'a' and 'd' only is the correct answer.
Analysis of Options:
•
Option (1) 'a' only: Incomplete; 'd' is also incorrect.
•
Option (2) 'b' and 'c' only: Incorrect; both are correct sentences.
•
Option (3) 'd' only: Incomplete.
•
Option (4) 'a' and 'd' only: Correct answer.
