अचूक उत्तर: पर्याय (3) Only (a) and (c)
कार्यान्वयीन उभयान्वयी अव्ययांचे (Conjunctions of Reason) विश्लेषण:
1.
विधान (a): "The days were short, for it was now December."
•
बरोबर: 'For' हे Coordinating Conjunction म्हणून कारण दर्शवण्यासाठी वापरले जाते तेव्हा त्यापूर्वी स्वल्पविराम (comma) देणे अनिवार्य असते. येथे विरामचिन्हांचा वापर व रचना अचूक आहे.
2.
विधान (b): "I did it for I was hungry."
•
चूक: येथे 'for' पूर्वी स्वल्पविराम (comma) दिलेला नाही. 'For' हे Preposition म्हणून गैरसमज होऊ नये म्हणून Conjunction म्हणून वापरताना त्यापूर्वी comma आवश्यक असतो ('I did it, for I was hungry' असायला हवे).
3.
विधान (c): "Because it was wet he took a taxi."
•
बरोबर: 'Because' हे Subordinating Conjunction सुरुवातीला वापरून कारण दर्शक वाक्यरचना योग्य केली आहे.
त्यामुळे केवळ (a) आणि (c) ही विधाने बरोबर आहेत.
📌 MPSC परीक्षा टीप: Punctuation with 'For':
'For' जेव्हा 'because' या अर्थाने उभयान्वयी अव्यय (Coordinating Conjunction) म्हणून वापरले जाते, तेव्हा त्याच्या आधी नेहमी स्वल्पविराम (Comma) असणे आवश्यक असते.

English Explanation / स्पष्टीकरण:
Correct Answer: Option (3) Only (a) and (c)
Analysis of Conjunctions of Reason and Punctuation:
1.
Sentence (a): "The days were short, for it was now December."
•
Correct: When 'for' acts as a coordinating conjunction introducing a reason, it must be preceded by a comma to avoid ambiguity with the preposition 'for'.
2.
Sentence (b): "I did it for I was hungry."
•
Incorrect: Lacks the mandatory comma before the coordinating conjunction 'for' (should be *I did it, for I was hungry*).
3.
Sentence (c): "Because it was wet he took a taxi."
•
Correct: Valid subordinate adverbial clause of reason introduced by 'Because'.
Therefore, only sentences (a) and (c) are grammatically correct.
📌 MPSC Exam Tip: When 'for' connects two independent clauses to indicate reason (FANBOYS coordinator), it is always preceded by a comma (*Clause 1, for Clause 2*).
