verified योग्य उत्तर: पर्याय (1) - सविस्तर स्पष्टीकरण

अचूक उत्तर: पर्याय (१) He not only made a promise, but he also kept it.

स्पष्टीकरण:

दिलेले वाक्य: *"Besides making a promise he kept it."* हे 'Besides + V-ing' असलेले Simple Sentence आहे.

तपशीलवार विश्लेषण:

१. Compound Sentence चे नियम: दोन मुख्य उपवाक्ये जेव्हा समुच्चयबोधक (Cumulative) उभयान्वयी अव्ययाने जोडली जातात, तेव्हा ते Compound Sentence बनते.
२. 'Besides' (शिवाय / च्या व्यतिरिक्त) चा अर्थ दर्शवण्यासाठी 'not only... but also' हे Correlative Conjunction वापरले जाते:
• Clause 1: *He not only made a promise*
• Clause 2: *but he also kept it*

→ *"He not only made a promise, but he also kept it."* (पर्याय १ बरोबर).

३. पर्याय (२) मध्ये 'Not only' कर्त्याच्या आधी वापरून पदक्रम चुकीचा केला आहे. पर्याय (३) व (४) क्रमशः आज्ञार्थी व केवल वाक्ये आहेत.

Correct Answer: Option (1) He not only made a promise, but he also kept it.

Explanation:

Original simple sentence: *"Besides making a promise he kept it."*

Detailed Analysis:

1. To convert this into a Compound sentence, use the cumulative correlative conjunction 'not only... but also' to link the two independent clauses:

→ *He not only made a promise, but he also kept it.* (Option 1).

2. Option (2) features faulty syntax (*Not only he made...* lacks proper parallelism or auxiliary inversion).
3. Options (3) and (4) do not form the required compound transformation.
