Which statement among the following is correct? A. He held the book in the both hands. B. He held the book in both hands. C. He held the book in both his hands.
अचूक उत्तर: पर्याय (४) B and C
स्पष्टीकरण:
•
इंग्रजी व्याकरणात 'Both' हा पूर्व-निर्धारक (Pre-determiner) आहे. त्याचा वापर तपासूया:
•
A. 'He held the book in the both hands': चुकीचे; 'the' नंतर 'both' कधीही येत नाही. जर Article वापरायचे असेल तर 'both the hands' असा क्रम असतो, 'the both hands' नव्हे.
•
B. 'He held the book in both hands': बरोबर; 'both + plural noun' ही अत्यंत साधी व प्रमाणित रचना आहे.
•
C. 'He held the book in both his hands': बरोबर; 'both + possessive determiner (his) + plural noun' ही रचना पूर्णपणे प्रमाणित आहे.
•
त्यामुळे विधाने B आणि C अचूक आहेत.
•
म्हणून पर्याय (४) 'B and C' हे अचूक उत्तर आहे.

English Explanation / स्पष्टीकरण:
Correct Answer: Option (4) B and C
Explanation:
•
Analyzing the determiners and word order with 'both':
•
Statement A: *'the both hands'* violates English grammar. 'Both' functions as a pre-determiner and must precede the central determiner (*both the hands*), never follow it — Incorrect.
•
Statement B: *'both hands'* directly quantifies the plural noun — Correct.
•
Statement C: *'both his hands'* correctly places the pre-determiner before the possessive determiner *his* — Correct.
•
Hence, B and C are correct, making Option (4) the right answer.
