अचूक उत्तर: पर्याय (1) (c) only
अप्रत्यक्ष प्रश्न (Indirect / Embedded Questions) रचनेचे नियम:
1.
विधान (a): "Can you tell me why are you late ?"
•
चूक: मुख्य प्रश्न 'Can you tell me' ने सुरू झाल्यावर गौण वाक्यात विधानासारखा सरळ शब्दक्रम (Assertive word order: Subject + Verb) हवा. येथे 'why you are late' असायला हवे होते ('why are you late' नाही).
2.
विधान (b): "Do you think does your name indicate your personality ?"
•
चूक: मुख्य वाक्यात 'Do you think' आल्यानंतर पुढील उपवाक्यात पुन्हा 'does' हे प्रश्नार्थक सहाय्यकारी क्रियापद वापरणे चुकीचे आहे ('Do you think your name indicates...' असायला हवे).
3.
विधान (c): "Do you think you can mention social work and oceanography together ?"
•
बरोबर: मुख्य प्रश्न 'Do you think' नंतर गौण वाक्यात 'you can mention' हा सरळ कर्ता + क्रियापद शब्दक्रम योग्य रीतीने वापरला आहे.
त्यामुळे केवळ विधान (c) बरोबर आहे.

📌 MPSC परीक्षा टीप: Embedded Questions चा नियम:
मुख्य वाक्यात आधीच प्रश्नार्थक रचना असल्यास (उदा. Can you tell me / Do you know), गौण वाक्यात पुन्हा Inversion (Verb + Subject) न करता सरळ शब्दक्रम (Subject + Verb) ठेवावा.

English Explanation / स्पष्टीकरण:
Correct Answer: Option (1) (c) only
Rules governing Embedded / Indirect Questions:
1.
Sentence (a): "Can you tell me why are you late ?"
•
Incorrect: When a question is embedded inside another question ('Can you tell me...'), the subordinate clause must follow standard affirmative word order (Subject + Verb): "why you are late" (not inverted 'why are you late').
2.
Sentence (b): "Do you think does your name indicate your personality ?"
•
Incorrect: The auxiliary 'does' cannot be repeated inside the noun clause; it should be: "Do you think your name indicates your personality?"
3.
Sentence (c): "Do you think you can mention social work and oceanography together ?"
•
Correct: The noun clause properly retains normal declarative word order (you can mention).
Therefore, only sentence (c) is correct.
