Select the correct adverbial clause : They started at his departure. (a) They started when he departed. (b) They started after his departure. (c) They started before he departs. (d) They started before he departed. Answer Options :
अचूक उत्तर: पर्याय (1) Only (a) is correct
स्पष्टीकरण:
•
मूळ वाक्य: "They started at his departure."
•
'at his departure' (त्याच्या प्रयाणाच्या वेळी) या Prepositional phrase चे Adverb clause of time मध्ये रूपांतर करताना 'when' चा वापर करून भूतकाळी क्रियापद वापरले जाते:
-> "They started when he departed." (विधान a).
•
इतर पर्यायांचे विश्लेषण:
•
(b): यात 'after his departure' हा पुन्हा Phrase राहिला आहे, Clause नाही.
•
(c) व (d): 'before' वापरल्याने मूळ वाक्याचा अर्थ ('at his departure') बदलतो.
•
त्यामुळे केवळ विधान (a) अचूक आहे.
म्हणून, पर्याय (1) Only (a) is correct हे अचूक उत्तर आहे.

English Explanation / स्पष्टीकरण:
Correct Answer: Option (1) Only (a) is correct
Explanation:
•
The prepositional phrase 'at his departure' indicates time (the moment he departed).
•
Expanding this phrase into an adverbial clause requires a temporal conjunction ('when') with a finite past verb:
-> "They started when he departed" (Sentence a).
•
Other options retain phrases or distort the temporal meaning ('before').
•
Therefore, only sentence (a) is correct.
Hence, Option (1) Only (a) is correct is the correct answer.
