अचूक उत्तर: पर्याय (4) Only b, c and d
स्पष्टीकरण:
'Used to' आणि त्याशी संबंधित वाक्प्रचारांचे व्याकरणातील नियम:
1.
वाक्य a: 'I am used for getting up early.' - चूक.
•
सवय असणे (accustomed to) या अर्थासाठी `be used to + V-ing` अशी रचना असते. येथे 'for' हा चुकीचा शब्दयोगी अव्यय वापरला आहे. अचूक वाक्य: *I am used to getting up early.*
2.
वाक्य b: 'Before his marriage, Meeran used to spend a lot of his time in the club.' - बरोबर.
•
भूतकाळातील सवय दर्शवण्यासाठी `used to + V1 (base verb)` ही रचना पूर्णपणे अचूक आहे.
3.
वाक्य c: 'My wife is used to getting up early.' - बरोबर.
•
वर्तमानातील सवय (accustomed to) दर्शवण्यासाठी `be (is) + used to + Gerund (getting up)` ही रचना अगदी अचूक आहे.
4.
वाक्य d: 'The Earth's resources are being used up at an alarming rate.' - बरोबर.
•
'Use up' हा Phrasal Verb असून त्याचा अर्थ 'संपवून टाकणे' (to exhaust completely) असा होतो. Passive Voice मध्ये 'being used up' ही रचना योग्य आहे.
त्यामुळे विधाने (b), (c) आणि (d) अचूक आहेत. पर्याय (4) योग्य आहे.

📌 MPSC परीक्षा टीप: फरक लक्षात ठेवा:
1.
`Subject + used to + V1`: भूतकाळातील सवय (*He used to play*).
2.
`Subject + be/get + used to + V-ing`: अंगवळणी पडलेली सवय (*He is used to working hard*). येथे कधीही 'for' वापरू नका!

English Explanation / स्पष्टीकरण:
Correct Answer: Option (4) Only b, c and d
Explanation:
Rules governing 'used to' and related structures:
1.
Sentence a: 'I am used for getting up early.' - Incorrect.
•
The expression meaning accustomed to is `be used to + gerund (-ing)`. Using 'for' is grammatically incorrect. Correct: *I am used to getting up early.*
2.
Sentence b: 'Before his marriage, Meeran used to spend a lot of his time in the club.' - Correct.
•
`used to + base verb (V1)` accurately expresses a past discontinued habit.
3.
Sentence c: 'My wife is used to getting up early.' - Correct.
•
`be used to + V-ing` properly expresses being accustomed to a routine activity.
4.
Sentence d: 'The Earth's resources are being used up at an alarming rate.' - Correct.
•
The phrasal verb 'use up' means to deplete/exhaust completely; correctly used in the continuous passive (*being used up*).
Therefore, only sentences (b), (c), and (d) are correct. Option (4) is correct.
