উত্তরের বিবরণ
• Incorrect Sentence: She likes swimming, to run, and biking every morning.
- Correct Sentence: She likes swimming, running, and biking every morning.
- এখানে, "to run" এর পরিবর্তে "running" হবে।
- কারণ বাক্যটিতে ক্রিয়াগুলোর ধরনে সামঞ্জস্য (parallelism) রক্ষা করা হয়নি।
• Parallelism:
- Parallelism in Bengali (or সামান্তরালতা) refers to the use of similar grammatical structures or syntactical patterns to create balance or rhythm in writing or speech. It is a rhetorical device that enhances clarity, elegance, and emphasis in language. By using parallel structure, writers or speakers can highlight similarities between ideas, making the text or speech more cohesive and easier to follow.
Examples of Parallelism in Bengali:
- অথবা/এবং ব্যবহার:
"সে খেলে, সে শিখে, সে হাসে।"
- (He plays, he learns, he laughs.)
- Here, the repetition of the verb forms "খেলে" (plays), "শিখে" (learns), and "হাসে" (laughs) in a parallel structure creates rhythm and emphasizes the actions.
- বাক্য গঠন:
- "আমি জানি, আমি বুঝি, আমি বিশ্বাস করি।"
- (I know, I understand, I believe.)
- The repetition of the verb "আমি" (I) followed by a verb in the same form, creates a balanced structure, making the sentence more powerful and unified.
- বৈসাদৃশ্যতা (Contrast):
- "সে বই পড়ে, আমি সিনেমা দেখি।"
- (He reads books, I watch movies.)
- Here, both parts of the sentence have the same structure, showing a contrast between two different actions.
- In these examples, the use of parallelism helps maintain balance, creates harmony between ideas, and makes the message more persuasive and memorable.

Choose the sentence that misuses the determiner.
Created: 5 days ago
A
She doesn't have many friends in the city.
B
Don't I have any money left?
C
Rahim bought few furnitures for the new office.
D
They found a little hope in the situation.
Original Sentence:
-
Rahim bought few furnitures for the new office. ❌
Issue:
-
“Furniture” is an uncountable noun, so it cannot be pluralized as “furnitures.”
-
Using “few” implies countable, which is incorrect here.
Correct Usage:
-
Rahim bought some furniture for the new office. ✅
-
Or: Rahim bought two pieces of furniture for the new office. ✅
Explanation of Other Options:
-
She doesn't have many friends in the city. → Correct, “many” is used with countable noun “friends.”
-
Don't I have any money left? → Correct, “any” is used with uncountable noun “money.”
-
They found a little hope in the situation. → Correct, “little” is used with uncountable noun “hope.”
