    Question

    Identify the grammatically correct form of the given sentence.
    Sentence: After an few more polite speeches, he found himself dismissed.
    I. After a few more polite speeches, he found himself the dismissed.
    II. After a few more polite speeches, he found himself dismissed.

    A.

    Both I and II are correct

    B.

    Only I is correct

    C.

    Only II is correct

    D.

    Neither I nor II is correct

    Correct option is C

    Only option II is grammatically correct.
    Explanation:
    · Article “an” in the original sentence is incorrect before “few” (a consonant sound). It should be “a few”.
    · Sentence I ends with “the dismissed”, which is not standard. “Dismissed” functions here as a past participle/adjective, not a noun.
    · Sentence II uses correct syntax: “he found himself dismissed” — simple past + past participle construction.
    Grammatical rule used:
    · “A few” is the correct expression for countable plural nouns like "speeches".
    · Use past participles after verbs like “found” when describing a state.
    �� Information Booster: Verbs like found, felt, considered are often followed by participles or adjectives:
    Example: She found herself exhausted after the long journey.
