    Question

    In the following question, a sentence contains a highlighted phrase that may be grammatically incorrect. Choose the most appropriate option from the given alternatives to replace the highlighted phrase and correct the sentence. If the highlighted phrase is correct as it is, then choose “No replacement required” as the correct answer.

    The girl stood at the airport for hours, but no one awaited to.

    A.

    revolved

    B.

    derived

    C.

    resulted

    D.

    arrived

    E.

    No replacement required

    Correct option is D


    Given sentence:
    "The girl stood at the airport for hours, but no one awaited to ."
    Error in the highlighted phrase ("awaited to"):
    · "Await" is a transitive verb, meaning it must take a direct object without any preposition.
    · The preposition "to" is unnecessary and makes the sentence grammatically incorrect.
    · Correct usage: "No one awaited her." OR "No one arrived."
    Meaning and Analysis of the Given Options:
    (a) Revolved
    · Meaning (English): To move in a circular motion around something.
    · Meaning (Hindi): घूमना, चक्कर लगाना।
    · Incorrect: "Revolved" does not fit the context, as waiting at an airport does not involve circular movement.
    (b) Derived
    · Meaning (English): To obtain something from a source.
    · Meaning (Hindi): प्राप्त करना, किसी स्रोत से निकालना।
    · Incorrect: "Derived" does not logically fit, as the sentence is about waiting at an airport, not obtaining something.
    (c) Resulted
    · Meaning (English): To lead to a particular consequence or outcome.
    · Meaning (Hindi): परिणामस्वरूप होना, किसी चीज़ का नतीजा होना।
    · Incorrect: "Resulted" does not fit because the sentence is about waiting, not about a cause-and-effect relationship.
    (d) Arrived ✅ (Correct Answer)
    · Meaning (English): To reach a place.
    · Meaning (Hindi): पहुँचना, आगमन करना।
    · Correct: "Arrived" is the most appropriate replacement because if no one awaited her, it means no one arrived at the airport.
    Corrected Sentence:
    "The girl stood at the airport for hours, but no one arrived ."
    Final Answer:
    (d) Arrived
