    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.
    (Rivers also provide a means of disposing waste), and act as a transport medium.

    A.

    Rivers provide a means of disposing the waste,

    B.

    No correction required

    C.

    Rivers also provide a means of disposing of waste,

    D.

    Rivers provide means of disposing waste,

    Correct option is C


    The correct answer is option (c).

    Explanation:

    • The verb dispose is used with the preposition of.
    • Therefore, the correct phrase is disposing of waste, not disposing waste.
    • The word also is appropriate because the sentence is listing another function of rivers in addition to other functions.

    Correct sentence (replaced segment):

    Rivers also provide a means of disposing of waste, and act as a transport medium.

    Why other options are incorrect:

    • (a) disposing the waste is incorrect because dispose does not take a direct object without of.
    • (b) No correction required is wrong because the original segment misses of.
    • (d) Omits also and keeps the incorrect structure disposing waste.

    Grammatical rule (English):

    Dispose is followed by of: dispose of + noun.

    Grammatical rule (Hindi):

    Dispose के साथ of का प्रयोग अनिवार्य है: dispose of + वस्तु (किसी चीज़ का निपटान करना)।

    So the correct answer is (c)
