    Question

    Identify the parts of speech of the highlighted words in the given sentence: For one week he managed to hide inside one of the dustbins.

    A.

    noun, verb

    B.

    adjective, preposition

    C.

    adjective, adverb

    D.

    pronoun, preposition

    Correct option is B

    The correct option is (b) adjective, preposition.
    Correct answer explanation (English):
    · One in the sentence "one week" functions as an adjective because it is describing the noun "week" (showing the number of weeks).
    · Inside shows the location where he hid, and therefore it is a preposition.
    Correct answer explanation (Hindi):
    · "One" शब्द "one week" में संज्ञा "week" का वर्णन कर रहा है, इसलिए यह एक विशेषण (adjective) है।
    · "Inside" स्थान को दर्शाता है ("किसके अंदर छुपा"), इसलिए यह एक पूर्वसर्ग (preposition) है।
    Why other options are incorrect:
    · (a) noun, verb: "one" is not acting as a noun here, and "inside" is not a verb. (गलत है, "one" यहाँ संज्ञा नहीं है और "inside" क्रिया नहीं है।)
    · (c) adjective, adverb: "inside" is not functioning as an adverb here, but as a preposition. (गलत है, "inside" यहाँ क्रिया विशेषण के रूप में नहीं, पूर्वसर्ग के रूप में है।)
    · (d) pronoun, preposition: "one" is not acting as a pronoun here (sometimes "one" is pronoun, but here it modifies "week" as adjective). (गलत है, "one" यहाँ सर्वनाम नहीं बल्कि विशेषण है।)
