verified योग्य उत्तर: पर्याय (2) - सविस्तर स्पष्टीकरण

अचूक उत्तर: पर्याय (२) Not only is she happy at having shown the way to other women but she also plans to improve their lot.

स्पष्टीकरण:

इंग्रजी व्याकरणात जेव्हा वाक्य 'Not only' या नकारात्मक संयोगाने सुरू होते, तेव्हा वाक्यात Inversion (व्युत्क्रम) चा नियम लागू होतो.

तपशीलवार विश्लेषण:

१. Inversion चा नियम: जेव्हा 'Not only' ने वाक्य सुरू होते, तेव्हा कर्त्याच्या (Subject) आधी सहाय्यकारी क्रियापद (Auxiliary verb) येते:
• रचना: Not only + Auxiliary verb + Subject + Main verb / Adjective...
• येथे: *Not only + is (verb) + she (subject) + happy...* ही रचना अगदी अचूक आहे.
२. पर्याय (१): *"Not only she is happy..."* यात inversion केलेले नाही, म्हणून हे चुकीचे आहे.
३. पर्याय (३) व (४): Correlative conjunctions च्या समांतरतेचा (parallelism) अभाव आहे आणि पर्याय (४) मध्ये 'happy' शब्दाची अनावश्यक पुनरावृत्ती झाली आहे.

त्यामुळे पर्याय (२) हे व्याकरणदृष्ट्या अचूक उत्तर आहे.

📌 MPSC परीक्षा टीप:

Negative Adverbial / Conjunction ने वाक्य सुरू झाल्यास Inversion बंधनकारक असते:

• *Not only did he fail, but he also lost his job.*
• *Not only is she intelligent, but she is also hardworking.*
translate English Explanation / स्पष्टीकरण:

Correct Answer: Option (2) Not only is she happy at having shown the way to other women but she also plans to improve their lot.

Explanation:

When a clause begins with a negative correlative conjunction like 'Not only', subject-auxiliary inversion is grammatically mandatory.

Detailed Analysis:

1. Rule of Negative Inversion:
• Structure: Not only + Auxiliary/Linking Verb + Subject + Predicate complement...
• In Option (2): *Not only + is + she + happy...* correctly inverts the subject 'she' and the verb 'is'.
2. Option (1): Lacks inversion (*Not only she is happy*), making it ungrammatical.
3. Options (3) & (4): Violate the law of correlative parallelism or contain redundant repetition (*happy not only happy*).

Hence, Option (2) is the only correct sentence.

Fronting 'Not only' triggers inversion:

*Not only + auxiliary verb + subject + main verb/complement*.
