योग्य उत्तर: पर्याय २ (Only (b) and (c))
विधाननिहाय विरामचिन्हे विश्लेषण:
•
विधान (a): *"The sun having risen we continued our journey."*
•
अयोग्य. 'The sun having risen' हा निरपेक्ष शब्दसमूह (Nominative Absolute Phrase) आहे. मुख्य वाक्यापासून असा भाग स्वल्पविरामाने (Comma) वेगळा करणे बंधनकारक असते: *"The sun having risen, we continued our journey."* येथे स्वल्पविराम गाळल्यामुळे हे वाक्य अयोग्य आहे.
•
विधान (b): *"He fought for his ideal earnestly, devotedly and bravely."*
•
योग्य. क्रियाविशेषणांच्या यादीमध्ये स्वल्पविरामाचा योग्य वापर केला आहे.
•
विधान (c): *"How noble is mercy!"*
•
योग्य. उद्गारार्थी वाक्य असून शेवटी योग्य रीतीने उद्गारवाचक चिन्ह (!) दिले आहे.
•
विधान (d): *"Alas, that a friend should be false."*
•
अयोग्य. 'Alas' हे दुःख व्यक्त करणारे केवलप्रयोगी अव्यय असून वाक्याच्या शेवटी किंवा 'Alas' नंतर उद्गारवाचक चिन्ह हवे होते; येथे शेवटी केवळ पूर्णविराम दिला आहे.
•
निष्कर्ष: विधाने (b) आणि (c) योग्य रीतीने विरामचिन्हांकित आहेत.

Nominative Absolute: नामासोबत कृदंतरूप (Participle) येऊन स्वतंत्र वाक्यांश बनतो, त्याला नेहमी स्वल्पविरामाने वेगळे करतात (उदा. *The weather being fine, we went out.*).

English Explanation / स्पष्टीकरण:
Correct Answer: Option 2 (Only (b) and (c))
Punctuation Analysis of Each Sentence:
•
Sentence (a): *"The sun having risen we continued our journey."*
•
Incorrect. The clause begins with a nominative absolute (*The sun having risen*). A nominative absolute phrase must always be partitioned from the predicate by a comma: *"The sun having risen, we continued our journey."*
•
Sentence (b): *"He fought for his ideal earnestly, devotedly and bravely."*
•
Correct. Adverbs in series are separated by a comma.
•
Sentence (c): *"How noble is mercy!"*
•
Correct. A standard exclamatory sentence terminating properly with an exclamation mark (!).
•
Sentence (d): *"Alas, that a friend should be false."*
•
Incorrect. An emotional interjection clause introduced by 'Alas' must terminate with an exclamation mark, not a mere period.
•
Conclusion: Sentences (b) and (c) are punctuated correctly.

Wren & Martin Rule: A nominative absolute phrase must always be separated from the rest of the sentence by a comma (e.g., *Spring approaching, the swallows appeared.*).
