    Question

    Choose the correct alternative to the () part of the sentence:
    I took the cycle (which her bought yesterday).

    A.

    that the had bought yesterday

    B.

    that which he had bought yesterday

    C.

    that he bought yesterday

    D.

    No improvement

    Correct option is C

    The correct alternative is (c) that he bought yesterday.
    Explanation:
    The sentence requires a correction in both the pronoun and the relative clause structure.
    1. The pronoun "her" is incorrect and must be replaced with "he" to make it grammatically correct.
    2. The word "which" can be replaced by "that" as it introduces a defining relative clause and is more concise.
    Corrected Sentence: I took the cycle that he bought yesterday.
    Grammatical Rule Used:
    1. Relative Pronouns: "That" is used in defining clauses to specify or define the noun being referred to.
    2. Pronouns: Pronouns must match the subject's gender and function (he = subject, her = object).
    Explanation in Hindi:
    1. "Her" को "he" से बदलना आवश्यक है क्योंकि "he" एक subject pronoun है।
    2. "Which" को "that" से बदलना बेहतर है क्योंकि यह defining clause में अधिक उपयुक्त है। Example: The book that she wrote is very popular.
    Meanings of all the given options:
    · (a) that the had bought yesterday: Grammatically incorrect due to the unnecessary article "the". (जो उसने कल खरीदी थी)। · (b) that which he had bought yesterday: Incorrect because "that" and "which" are redundant together. (जो उसने कल खरीदी थी)। · (c) that he bought yesterday: Correct structure and meaning. (जो उसने कल खरीदी थी)। · (d) No improvement: Incorrect as the original sentence contains errors.
