सविस्तर विश्लेषण:
वाक्यांची व्याकरणदृष्ट्या तपासणी:
•
(a) "The table's leg is broken." $\rightarrow$ चुकीचे आहे.
•
इंग्रजी नियमानुसार, निर्जीव वस्तूंना (Inanimate objects) सामान्यतः 's (Apostrophe s) लागत नाही; त्याऐवजी 'of' रचना वापरतात. त्यामुळे योग्य रचना: *"The leg of the table is broken."*
•
(b) "They had a two hour talk." $\rightarrow$ बरोबर आहे.
•
'two-hour' हे सामासिक विशेषण (Compound Adjective) नाम 'talk' चे वर्णन करते; विशेषण म्हणून वापरताना 'hours' न येता একवचनी 'hour' येतो.
•
(c) "He was absent for last two days." $\rightarrow$ चुकीचे आहे.
•
'last two days' पूर्वी निश्चित उपपद (Definite Article) 'the' असणे आवश्यक आहे. अचूक वाक्य: *"He was absent for the last two days."*
•
त्यामुळे केवळ वाक्य (b) व्याकरणदृष्ट्या बरोबर आहे.

English Explanation / स्पष्टीकरण:
Correct Answer: Option 4 (Only (b))
Detailed Explanation:
Grammatical analysis of sentences:
•
(a) "The table's leg is broken." $\rightarrow$ Incorrect.
•
Possessive case (*'s*) is not normally used with non-living inanimate objects. The correct form is *"The leg of the table is broken."*
•
(b) "They had a two hour talk." $\rightarrow$ Correct.
•
When a numeral and a noun form a compound adjective modifying another noun, the modifying noun remains singular (*a two-hour talk*, *a ten-rupee note*).
•
(c) "He was absent for last two days." $\rightarrow$ Incorrect.
•
The phrase requires the definite article 'the': *"for the last two days"*.
•
Therefore, Only (b) is grammatically correct.
