अचूक उत्तर: पर्याय (3) Both (a) and (b) are correct
'Reverent' आणि 'Reverend' मधील सूक्ष्म फरक:
1.
Reverent (आदरयुक्त / नम्र): मनातील आदर व्यक्त करणारा किंवा आदर दाखवणारा (feeling or showing deep respect/reverence).
•
वाक्य (a): *"You should talk to your boss in a reverent manner."* (तुम्ही तुमच्या बॉसशी आदराने/आदरयुक्त रीतीने बोलले पाहिजे) - येथे 'reverent manner' हा प्रयोग अगदी अचूक आहे.
2.
Reverend (पूज्य / आदरणीय): आदर मिळण्यास पात्र असलेली व्यक्ती, विशेषतः धर्मोपदेशक किंवा प्रतिष्ठित पदावरील व्यक्ती (worthy of reverence; respected; used as a title for members of the clergy or respected figures).
•
वाक्य (b): *"Our reverend principal is coming."* (आमचे आदरणीय प्राचार्य येत आहेत) - आदरणीय व्यक्तीसाठी 'reverend' हे विशेषण अचूक वापरले आहे.
3.
त्यामुळे दोन्ही विधाने (a) आणि (b) योग्य आहेत.
