Read the sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical mistake in it.
Mark the number of the part with error as your answer. If there is 'no error' mark (4).
The scientist was seemed (A) to be excited (B) over the result of his experiment.(C)

Correct option is B

Option (b) contains the error.
Explanation:
· Incorrect phrase: was seemed
· The verb “seemed” is a complete linking verb in the past tense and doesn’t require an auxiliary like "was."
· Therefore, “was” is unnecessary and incorrect.
Correct sentence: The scientist seemed to be excited over the result of his experiment.
Grammatical Rule (English):
· Linking verbs (seem, appear, become, etc.) are not used with "was/were" unless in passive or perfect constructions.
Grammatical Rule (Hindi):
· “Seem” एक linking verb है और यह अपने आप ही complete होता है। इसे "was" जैसे auxiliary verbs के साथ केवल तब प्रयोग किया जाता है जब वाक्य passive या perfect form में हो।
Example:
· Incorrect: She was seemed nervous.
· Correct: She seemed nervous.
