Question

Select the word segment that substituted (replaces) the bracketed word segment correctly and completes the sentence meaningfully. Select the option ‘no correction required’ if the sentence is correct as given.
(Those Mount Everests) is Earth’s highest mountain above sea level, located in the sub-range of the Himalayas.

A.

Mount Everest

B.

A Mount Everest

C.

The Mount Everest

D.

No correction required

Correct option is A


The phrase “Those Mount Everests” is incorrect because “Mount Everest” is a singular proper noun and doesn't take a demonstrative plural like “those.” The correct form is just “Mount Everest.”
Grammatical Rule Used:
· Proper nouns are treated as singular and do not take plural determiners. Additionally, articles are not used unless specifying context (e.g., the Mount Everest expedition).
Hindi Explanation:
"Mount Everest" एक विशिष्ट नाम है और यह बहुवचन (Those) के साथ प्रयोग नहीं किया जा सकता।
Meanings of the options:
· (a) Mount Everest – Correct; singular proper noun.
· Hindi: माउंट एवरेस्ट
· (b) A Mount Everest – Incorrect; article "a" not needed.
· Hindi: गलत प्रयोग
· (c) The Mount Everest – Not required unless specifying something.
· Hindi: जब तक कोई विशेष उद्देश्य न हो, "The" नहीं लगाते।
· (d) No correction required – Incorrect; sentence contains error.
· Hindi: वाक्य में त्रुटि है
