    Question

    Select the word segment that substitutes the bracketed word segment correctly and completes the sentence meaningfully. Select ‘No correction required’ if the sentence is correct as given.

    When the boy was asked about his report, he created (an usual) story about aliens stealing his work.

    A.

    an outlandish

    B.

    a conservative

    C.

    a trivial

    D.

    No Correction Required

    Correct option is A

    The error lies in the bracketed segment, and the correct replacement is option (a).
    • Explanation: The phrase “an usual” is incorrect. Moreover, the context suggests a strange, unbelievable story. The word outlandish means bizarre or strange, which fits perfectly.
    • Correct sentence: When the boy was asked about his report, he created an outlandish story about aliens stealing his work.
    Grammatical rule (English):
    • Use a grammatically correct determiner + adjective phrase and choose a word that matches the context.
    व्याकरण नियम (Hindi):
    • गलत शब्द-समूह को संदर्भानुसार सही शब्द से बदला जाता है।
    So the correct answer is (a)
