Correct option is D
The incorrect segment is
"both the wife."
Explanation:
·
"Both" is used to refer to
two people or things, but
"wife" is singular, so "both" cannot be used here.
· The correct phrase should be
"both the wives" if referring to two wives, or simply
"the wife" if referring to one.
Correct Sentence:
I wondered why
the wife
of Lord Easton had left him. (If referring to one wife)
OR
I wondered why
both the wives
of Lord Easton had left him. (If referring to two wives)
Grammatical Rule Used:
·
"Both" is always used for two things and must be followed by a
plural noun (e.g., "both the books," "both the hands").
· If referring to a
single person or object,
"both" cannot be used.
Explanation in Hindi:
·
"Both" का उपयोग हमेशा दो व्यक्तियों या वस्तुओं के लिए किया जाता है।
·
"Wife" एकवचन (singular) है, इसलिए "both" का उपयोग यहाँ गलत है।
· सही वाक्य:
· यदि एक पत्नी की बात हो रही है:
"the wife of Lord Easton had left him."
· यदि दो पत्नियों की बात हो रही है:
"both the wives of Lord Easton had left him."
