Choose the correct sentence:
A
This is the most exterior part of the building.
B
The utter worse situation was unexpected.
C
The outer layer is painted red.
D
The most hind section is the largest
উত্তরের বিবরণ
The correct sentence: গ) The outer layer is painted red.
-
Positive adjectives: exterior, interior, ulterior, major, minor → এগুলো comparative adjective-এর মত ব্যবহার হয় না।
-
Examples:
-
The exterior portion of the house is worse than the interior portion.
-
He did it with some ulterior motive.
-
The major portion of the people are illiterate.
-
Do not quarrel over such a minor matter.
-
-
Comparative-like words now used as positive only: inner, outer, latter, elder, hinder, upper, former, utter
-
এগুলোর পরে than বা to আসে না। কখনও কখনও of ব্যবহার হতে পারে।
-
Other options:
-
ক) This is the most exterior part of the building. → ভুল; exterior ইতিমধ্যেই ‘বাইরের’ অর্থ প্রকাশ করে, most ব্যবহার করা যায় না।
-
খ) The utter worse situation was unexpected. → ভুল; utter মানে ‘সম্পূর্ণ’, কিন্তু worse (comparative) এর সাথে ব্যবহার করা যায় না। সঠিক হবে utter worst বা the worst situation।
-
ঘ) The most hind section is the largest. → ভুল; hind positive adjective, most ব্যবহার করা যায় না।

She studies in order to get a scholarship. (compound)
Created: 1 month ago
A
She studies and get a scholarship.
B
Study and she gets a scholarship.
C
She studies and she will get a scholarship.
D
She studied and she get a scholarship.
The correct answer: গ) She studies and she will get a scholarship.
Rule: Simple → Compound Sentence (with purpose clauses):
-
Simple Sentence-এ যদি to + verb (যেমন: to succeed, to pass, to win) কোনো উদ্দেশ্য প্রকাশ করে, অথবা in order to ব্যবহৃত হয়, তাহলে compound sentence-এ রূপান্তরের নিয়ম:
-
in order to + verb থেকে to বাদ দিতে হবে।
-
বাক্যের প্রথম অংশকে Imperative বা মূল ক্রিয়ার অংশ হিসেবে রূপান্তর করতে হবে।
-
এরপর and (subject + will) বসিয়ে বাক্যের দ্বিতীয় অংশ যুক্ত করতে হবে।
-
Examples:
-
Simple: Do it in order to get money. → Compound: Do it and (you will) get money.
-
Simple: Study hard in order to pass the exam. → Compound: Study hard and (you will) pass the exam.
-
Simple: You must work hard in order to succeed. → Compound: Work hard and you will succeed.
Other options:
-
ক) She studies and get a scholarship. → Verb form ভুল, grammatical ভুল।
-
খ) Study and she gets a scholarship. → “Study” imperative রূপ; বাক্য অসম্পূর্ণ বা অর্থবোধক নয়।
-
ঘ) She studied and she get a scholarship. → Verb form ভুল, সঠিক হবে she gets।
