arise

B.

well

C.

left

D.

occur

E.

No replacement required

Correct option is C


Given sentence:
"She was worried because her brother had going to for an unknown location."
Errors in the highlighted phrase ("had going to for"):
1. "Had going to" is incorrect – The past perfect tense ("had") must be followed by a past participle, not a continuous form ("going"). The correct structure should be "had gone to" or "had left for."
2. "For" is unnecessary with "going to" – If "going to" were correct, it wouldn't require "for." However, since "had going to" is incorrect, we need a better verb.
3. "Had left for" is the best replacement – The phrase "left for" correctly indicates someone departing for a location.
Meaning and Analysis of the Given Options:
(a) Arise
· Meaning (English): To come into existence or happen.
· Meaning (Hindi): उत्पन्न होना, खड़ा होना।
· Incorrect: "Arise" does not fit because it does not relate to travel or leaving a location.
(b) Well
· Meaning (English): In a good manner, or a source of water.
· Meaning (Hindi): अच्छी तरह से, या कुआँ।
· Incorrect: "Well" is an adverb/adjective and cannot replace a verb phrase.
(c) Left ✅ (Correct Answer)
· Meaning (English): Departed from a place.
· Meaning (Hindi): छोड़कर चला गया।
· Correct: "Had left for" is grammatically correct and accurately conveys the meaning that her brother departed for an unknown location.
· Corrected sentence: "She was worried because her brother had left for an unknown location."
(d) Occur
· Meaning (English): To happen or take place.
· Meaning (Hindi): घटित होना।
· Incorrect: "Occur" is used for events, not for people traveling.
(e) No replacement required
Incorrect because "had going to for" is grammatically wrong.
Final Answer:
(c) Left
Corrected sentence: "She was worried because her brother had left for an unknown location."
