Question

Select the most appropriate option to substitute the highlighted segment in the given sentence.
Somebody have left dirty clothes on the bed.

A.

has left

B.

were left

C.

have been left

D.

was left

Correct option is A


✔️ Correct option: (a) has left
Explanation:
“Somebody” is a singular indefinite pronoun, so the verb must be singular too—“has,” not “have.”
Correct sentence: Somebody has left dirty clothes on the bed.
Hindi meaning: किसी ने बिस्तर पर गंदे कपड़े छोड़ दिए हैं।
Grammatical rule used: Singular indefinite pronouns (someone, somebody, anyone) take singular verbs.
Meanings of the other options:
· (b) were left – passive past, doesn’t fit with active subject ❌
· (c) have been left – plural verb “have” used incorrectly ❌
· (d) was left – passive past, not suitable with “somebody” as subject ❌
