Select the sentence having correct sub-verb agreement:
A I had my door open.
B He talks as if he was a king.
C The jury was not from the same city.
D He ran fast lest he should have miss the train
Solution
Correct Answer: Option C
- "Jury" একটি collective noun।
- ইংরেজিতে collective noun সাধারণত singular verb নেয় যখন এটি একটি একক ইউনিট হিসেবে বিবেচিত হয়।
সঠিক বাক্যটি : "The jury was not from the same city."
অন্যগুলো ভুল কারণ:
A) "I had my door open." → technically correct grammatically, কিন্তু এটি causative structure, sub-verb agreement বিষয় নয়।
B) "He talks as if he was a king." → শুদ্ধ formal English এ হবে "He talks as if he were a king."
D) "He ran fast lest he should have miss the train" → "miss" এর পরিবর্তে "missed" হওয়া উচিত।
