উত্তরের বিবরণ

The incorrect Sentence is: গ) Work hard lest you should pass.

  • কারণ এখানে বলা হয়েছে - "তুমি কষ্ট করো না হলে পাশ করে ফেলবে!"- তাই বাক্যটি অর্থহীন।

  • Lest দ্বারা দুটি clause যুক্ত হলে পরবর্তী clause এর verb এর আগে should বসে।

  • সেখানে ঐ verb এর negative রূপ ব্যবহার করা যায় না।

উদাহরণ:

  • Run fast lest (পাছে নইলে) you should miss the train.

Incorrect: Work hard lest you should pass
Correct: Work hard lest you should fail
Incorrect: Work hard lest you should not fail
Correct: Work hard lest you should fail

অন্য বাক্যগুলো সঠিক:

  • ক) Hurry lest you should be late.

  • খ) Be careful lest you should fall.

  • ঘ) Walk quickly lest you should miss the bus.
