English Explanation / स्पष्टीकरण:
Correct Answer: Option (2) Very few women in India were as great as Indira Gandhi.
Explanation:
The question tests rules of degree transformation involving the "one of the" superlative construction.
Detailed Analysis:
1.
When a superlative sentence uses the structure 'one of the + superlative + plural noun', its corresponding Positive degree must begin with 'Very few + plural noun + plural verb'.
2.
Formula: *Very few + plural noun + were/are + as + positive degree + as + subject*.
•
Correct transformation: *"Very few women in India were as great as Indira Gandhi."*
3.
"No other..." is used exclusively for unique superlatives (*the greatest*), not for shared superlatives (*one of the greatest*).
4.
Hence, Option (2) is correct.
