verified योग्य उत्तर: पर्याय (3) - सविस्तर स्पष्टीकरण

अचूक उत्तर: पर्याय (३) (a) only

स्पष्टीकरण:

दिलेले वाक्य: *"To his great disappointment he failed in the examination."*

हे एक Simple Sentence आहे.

तपशीलवार विश्लेषण:

१. Compound Sentence बनवताना: वाक्यातील Prepositional Phrase (*To his great disappointment*) चे एका स्वतंत्र उपवाक्यात रूपांतर करून ते 'and' या समुच्चयबोधक अव्ययाने जोडले जाते:
• Clause 1: *He failed in the examination*
• Coordinating Conjunction: *and*
• Clause 2: *he was greatly disappointed*

→ *"He failed in the examination and he was greatly disappointed."* (विधान a बरोबर).

२. विधान (b): *"His great disappointment is he failed..."* हे Complex Sentence बनते आणि त्याचा काळही (is) मूळ भूतकाळाशी विसंगत आहे.
३. म्हणून केवळ विधान (a) हे अचूक Compound Sentence आहे.

translate English Explanation / स्पष्टीकरण:

Correct Answer: Option (3) (a) only

Explanation:

Original simple sentence: *"To his great disappointment he failed in the examination."*

Detailed Analysis:

1. To convert this into a Compound sentence, the prepositional phrase *To his great disappointment* is expanded into an independent clause joined by the coordinating conjunction 'and':

→ *He failed in the examination and he was greatly disappointed.* (Sentence a).

2. Sentence (b) is a Complex sentence containing an embedded complement clause, and incorrectly shifts the tense to present (*is*).
3. Therefore, only (a) is correct.
