Americans do not object ____ by their first names.
A
my calling them
B
to my calling them
C
been called
D
me calling them
উত্তরের বিবরণ
সঠিক উত্তর হলো – খ) to my calling them.
Complete sentence: Americans do not object to my calling them by their first names.
• Verb ‘object’ সাধারণত to + gerund (-ing form) এর সাথে ব্যবহার হয়।
- “object” verb-এর পর to + noun/gerund.
- “calling” হলো gerund (verb-এর noun রূপ)।
- তাই সঠিক গঠন: object to my calling them.
অন্যান্য অপশন ভুল:
ক) my calling them
→ “object” এর পরে to প্রয়োজন।
গ) been called
→ passive voice, কিন্তু এখানে gerund দরকার।
ঘ) me calling them
→ grammatically “to” ছাড়া ভুল।

He _________ home the day before yesterday.
Created: 1 month ago
A
came
B
has come
C
had been come
D
come
The correct answer is ক) came
Complete sentence: He came home the day before yesterday.
Explanation:
- 
Words like yesterday, ago, last week/month/year, day before yesterday indicate a specific time in the past. 
- 
When the action happened at a definite past time, the past form of the verb must be used, even if in Bengali the sentence seems present-like. 
Examples:
- 
He came home the day before yesterday. 
- 
She bought the book last month. 
- 
Father came home yesterday. 
- 
I saw him long ago. 
Incorrect forms explained:
- 
খ) has come → Present perfect is used for indefinite past, not for a specified past time. 
- 
গ) had been come → Wrong structure; “come” is intransitive and doesn’t form passive. 
- 
ঘ) come → Base form is incorrect; past tense came is required.

A
Extirpate: Destroy
B
Intrepid: Unheroic
C
Amenable: Responsible
D
Temerity: Audacity
• The incorrect synonym pair is — খ) Intrepid: Unheroic
- 
Intrepid (অকুতোভয়; নিঃশঙ্ক; অসমসাহসিক) এবং Unheroic (অবীরোচিত; ভীরুতার পরিচায়ক) পরস্পর বিপরীত অর্থের, সমার্থক নয়। 
• Other options:
- 
ক) Extirpate (সম্পূর্ণ ধ্বংস করা) ↔ Destroy (ধ্বংস/নষ্ট/বিধ্বস্ত/বরবাদ করা) 
- 
গ) Amenable ((ব্যক্তি) সংবেদনশীল; বাধ্য; (আইন সম্বন্ধীয়) (ব্যক্তি) দায়ী) ↔ Responsible ((ব্যক্তি) আইনত অথবা নীতিগতভাবে দায়ী) 
- 
ঘ) Temerity (হঠকারিতা; দুঃসাহস) ↔ Audacity (দুঃসাহস; স্পর্ধা; ধৃষ্টতা) 
- 
এই শব্দগুলো পরস্পর সমার্থক (synonyms)।

If they had listened to the advice, they _______ the problem.
Created: 1 month ago
A
had avoid
B
might avoid
C
might have avoided
D
might avoided
3rd Conditional Rules:
- 
If-clause: had + past participle (V3) 
- 
Main clause: would/could/might + have + past participle (V3) 
Example from your sentence:
- 
If they had listened to the advice, they might have avoided the problem. 
Explanation:
- 
"had listened" → If-clause in past perfect 
- 
"might have avoided" → Main clause showing hypothetical result in the past 
Other options would not follow the 3rd conditional structure, so they are incorrect.
