अचूक उत्तर: पर्याय (१) (a) Only
स्पष्टीकरण:
दिलेल्या पर्यायांपैकी केवळ विधान (a) हे Complex Sentence (मिश्र वाक्य) आहे.
तपशीलवार विश्लेषण:
*"He is more a philosopher than a poet."*
पारंपरिक इंग्रजी व्याकरणाच्या नियमांनुसार, 'than' चा वापर तुलनात्मक उपवाक्य (Subordinate Clause of Comparison / Degree) जोडण्यासाठी होतो. यात *"than [he is] a poet"* हा भाग अध्याहृत (elliptical) Subordinate Clause मानला जातो. ज्या वाक्यात तुलनात्मक गौण उपवाक्य असते, ते Complex Sentence असते.
*"Waste not, want not."* हे दोन आज्ञार्थी वाक्यांचे समांतर संयोजन आहे (Waste not and you will want not), जे मिश्र वाक्य नाही.
*"We desire to reap therefore we sow."* यात 'therefore' हे परिणामदर्शक Coordinating / Illative Conjunction असल्याने हे Compound Sentence आहे.
📌 MPSC परीक्षा टीप:
Degree / Comparison ची वाक्ये:
Correct Answer: Option (1) (a) Only
Explanation:
Among the given choices, only sentence (a) is classified as a Complex Sentence.
Detailed Analysis:
*He is more a philosopher than a poet.*
In formal English grammar, comparative constructions introduced by 'than' contain an elliptical subordinate adverb clause of comparison: *than [he is] a poet*. Sentences containing subordinate clauses of comparison are Complex Sentences.
*Waste not, want not.* is an aphoristic compound construction pairing two coordinate imperatives.
*We desire to reap therefore we sow.* Two independent clauses connected by the illative coordinator *therefore*.
📌 MPSC Exam Tip:
Comparative sentences containing *than* or *as... as* are categorized as Complex Sentences due to the presence of an adverb clause of comparison/degree.
