Correct option is B
Option (b)
contains the error.
The phrase
“times the day” is incorrect. The correct phrase is
“times a day” when talking about frequency. The article
“a” is used before singular countable nouns to indicate
one of many possible instances, which fits here (four times
a day).
“
The” is used to refer to a specific noun already known to the reader/listener, which is not the case in this context.
Correct sentence:
Mr. Raghav brushes his teeth four times
a
day.
Grammatical rule used:
Article Usage – “A” is the indefinite article used before general, non-specific singular countable nouns.
When expressing frequency, the standard construction is
“[number] times a [time period]”, e.g., twice a week, once a month, four times a day.
Explanation of the grammatical rule in Hindi:
जब किसी कार्य की आवृत्ति (frequency) बताई जाती है, तो “a” article का प्रयोग किया जाता है जैसे:
once a day, twice a week, four times a year.
यहाँ “
a day” सही है, “
the day” नहीं।
Example:
· She drinks coffee
three times a day.
· He goes to the gym
twice a week.
