अचूक उत्तर: पर्याय (1) Only a and c are correct
'None' च्या Subject-Verb Agreement चा नियम:
1.
पारंपारिक आणि प्रमाण इंग्रजी व्याकरणात (Formal Traditional English Grammar) 'None' हा मूळतः 'not one' चा संक्षेप मानला जातो, त्यामुळे त्यासोबत क्रियापद एकवचनी (Singular Verb) वापरणे अत्यंत शुद्ध आणि प्रमाण मानले जाते.
2.
विधानांचे विश्लेषण:
•
विधान a: *"Except for her eyes, none of her features is remarkable."* – वर्तमानकाळातील एकवचनी क्रियापद 'is' सह बरोबर आहे.
•
विधान c: *"Except for her eyes, none of her features was remarkable."* – भूतकाळातील एकवचनी क्रियापद 'was' सह बरोबर आहे.
•
विधाने b आणि d मध्ये अनेकवचनी क्रियापदे ('are', 'were') वापरली आहेत.
3.
आयोगाच्या अधिकृत उत्तरतालिकेनुसार एकवचनी क्रियापदे असणारी विधाने a आणि c अचूक मानण्यात आली आहेत.

📌 MPSC परीक्षा टीप: 'None' चा नियम:
जरी आधुनिक बोलचालीत 'none of + plural noun' नंतर अनेकवचनी क्रियापद चालत असले, तरी पारंपारिक औपचारिक व्याकरणात आणि MPSC परीक्षेत None + Singular Verb (is/was) हेच अधिक प्रमाण मानले जाते.
