Select the most appropriate option to substitute the highlighted segment in the given sentence.
The veteran footballer was expected for reach here by 10 o’clock, the notice said.

Correct option is B

The correct substitution of the highlighted segment is "expected to reach here" (Option b).
Explanation:
The correct verb structure is "expected to" + base form of the verb. The phrase "for reach" is grammatically incorrect as it does not follow this structure. The sentence should read as:
"The veteran footballer was expected to reach here by 10 o’clock, the notice said."
Grammatical Rule Used:
· The verb "expected" is followed by an infinitive (to + verb) to indicate the intended action.
· Incorrect prepositions like "for," "of," or "by" cannot replace "to" in this context.
Explanation of the rule in Hindi:
· "Expected" क्रिया के बाद "to" का उपयोग किया जाता है और उसके बाद verb का base form आता है। "For" या अन्य prepositions का इस structure में उपयोग गलत होगा।
Example:
· Incorrect: She was expected for arrive on time.
· Correct: She was expected to arrive on time.
Meanings of other options:
· Expected on reach here: Incorrect because "on" is not used with "expected." (गलत प्रीपोजिशन का प्रयोग)
· Expected of reach here: Incorrect because "of" does not form a valid phrase with "expected." (प्रीपोजिशन गलत है)
· Expected by reach here: Incorrect because "by" cannot replace "to" in this grammatical construction. (प्रीपोजिशन का प्रयोग गलत है)
