Question

Select the word segment that substitutes (replaces) the bracketed word segment correctly and completes the sentence meaningfully. Select the option 'no correction required' if the sentence is correct as given.
(Runs across the classroom), Anita tripped over the cord and hurt herself.

A.

No correction required

B.

Running across the classroom

C.

Runned across the classroom

D.

Ran across the classroom

Correct option is B


The correct substitution of the highlighted words is "Running across the classroom".
The phrase "Runs across the classroom" is incorrect because the sentence describes an action happening simultaneously with another action ("tripped over the cord"). In such cases, the present participle form "Running" is used to show continuity.
Grammatical rule used:
When two actions happen at the same time, the first action is usually expressed using the present participle (-ing form) to indicate an ongoing event.
Explanation in Hindi:
जब एक क्रिया (भागना) दूसरी क्रिया (गिरना) के साथ एक ही समय हो रही होती है, तो पहली क्रिया के लिए present participle (-ing form) का प्रयोग किया जाता है। इसलिए "Running across the classroom" सही उत्तर है।
