Identify the incorrect sentence/s. a. The silver is a precious metal. b. He is studying in the university. c. He was absent for the last two days.
योग्य उत्तर: पर्याय १ (Only a and b)
स्पष्टीकरण:
•
वाक्य a चुकीचे आहे: "The silver is a precious metal." - 'Silver' हे धातू/पदार्थवाचक नाम (Material noun) असून ते सर्वसामान्य अर्थाने वापरले आहे. सामान्य संदर्भातील पदार्थवाचक नामांपूर्वी 'The' वापरत नाहीत (योग्य: "Silver is a precious metal").
•
वाक्य b चुकीचे आहे: "He is studying in the university." - शाळा, कॉलेज, विद्यापीठ, रुग्णालय, तुरुंग या संस्थांचा वापर त्यांच्या मूळ प्राथमिक उद्देशासाठी (Primary purpose) केला जात असल्यास उपपद वापरले जात नाही (योग्य: "He is studying at/in university").
•
वाक्य c बरोबर आहे: "He was absent for the last two days." - क्रमवाचक विशेषणापूर्वी (Ordinal number - 'the last') 'the' चा वापर योग्य आहे.
•
त्यामुळे अयोग्य वाक्ये Only a and b (पर्याय १) आहेत.

English Explanation / स्पष्टीकरण:
Correct Answer: Option 1 (Only a and b)
Explanation:
•
Sentence a is incorrect: "The silver is a precious metal." Material nouns used in a general sense take no article (correct: *"Silver is a precious metal"*).
•
Sentence b is incorrect: "He is studying in the university." When institutions such as school, college, or university are visited or attended for their primary purpose (study), no article is used (correct: *"He is studying at university"*).
•
Sentence c is correct: "He was absent for the last two days." Ordinals like 'the last', 'the first' take the definite article 'the'.
•
Therefore, sentences (a) and (b) are incorrect.
