ANSWERS & EXPLANATIONS

BCS Answers

01. Ans: A ব্যাখ্যা: That যুক্ত clause টি যদি antecedent (পূর্ববর্তী noun) ছাড়া বসে এবং verb এর subject বা object বা complement হিসেবে কাজ করে তবে তা Noun clause। এখানে "that he will be a BCS cadre" অংশটি 'dream' (Subject) এর appositive হিসেবে বসেছে। Appositive clause সর্বদা Noun clause হয়।

02. Ans: B ব্যাখ্যা: এই বাক্যে "Sitting happily" অংশটি একটি phrase। কিন্তু প্রশ্নের উত্তরে একে 'subordinate clause' (B) হিসেবে দেখানো হয়েছে কারণ এর পূর্ণ রূপ ধরা হয়েছে "When the chicken was sitting happily"। সাধারণত Wh word (When/As etc) যুক্ত অংশকে Sub-ordinate clause বলা হয়।

03. Ans: C

ব্যাখ্যা: While, lest, as if, as though ইত্যাদি যুক্ত clause গুলো সাধারণত Adverbial clause হয়।

04. Ans: C ব্যাখ্যা: এই বাক্যে "I lost" clause টি 'the book' (noun) কে মডিফাই বা বর্ণনা করছে। তাই এটি Adjective clause।

Bank Answers

01. Ans: D Explanation: 'Want' here is used as a noun meaning lack/deficiency, but grammatically requires "in want of". Or better, "lacking in". The sentence "it is want of..." is incorrect. Correct forms could be "it is in want of" or "it lacks". Option C "it is lacking in peace and security" is grammatically correct. Wait, text key says D. Let's check option D: "it wants to be in peace and security". This changes meaning. Option C is "it is lacking in...". Let's re-read the source key. Source 1473 Q1 Ans: D.

02. Ans: A Explanation: "Market forces" is plural, so the verb must be "are". "Subjected" is correct participle. So "are subjected are" (A) is correct.

03. Ans: A Explanation: This sentence requires a semicolon or period to separate two independent clauses. Option A uses a semicolon correctly: "clients' records; accountants can...".

04. Ans: B Explanation: The structure "such... that" is used here. "In such a mess that there is no leader...".

05. Ans: D Explanation: The sentence begins with "Although", which sets up a contrast, but the second part is a fragment. Actually, the sentence provided in the question seems to be the fragment itself needing a main clause subject. If we replace "Although it" with just "It", it becomes a complete independent sentence: "It has been estimated that...".

06. Ans: B Explanation: "From, it is". A comma splice or run-on is avoided. Ideally a semicolon or period, but here "from, it is" seems to be the chosen option in the text to separate the clauses. Wait, standard grammar would prefer "from; it is" (D). Let's check the source answer. Source 1473 Q6 Ans: B.

PSC & Other Exam Answers

01. Ans: A ব্যাখ্যা: এই বাক্যে "whatever you eat" অংশটি 'digests' (verb) এর object হিসেবে কাজ করছে। Verb এর object হিসেবে Noun বা Pronoun বসে, তাই এটি Noun clause।

02. Ans: C

Explanation: "when evening came" is the subordinate clause indicating time (Adverbial clause of time).

03. Ans: A

ব্যাখ্যা: As, if, when, while ইত্যাদি যুক্ত clause গুলো সাধারণত Adverbial clause হয় (এখানে manner বুঝাচ্ছে)।

04. Ans: D ব্যাখ্যা: যে clause এর মধ্যে কোনো subordinating conjunction থাকে না এবং যেটি স্বাধীনভাবে অর্থ প্রকাশ করতে পারে, সেটি Principal clause। "I know" অংশটি এখানে Principal clause। "that he will come" হলো Subordinate Noun clause। প্রশ্নে আন্ডারলাইন করা অংশটি "I know", তাই এটি Principal clause।

8. d) Exclamatory (Note: Source key says 8.d. Standard grammar classifies sentences expressing sudden emotion or wish (like 'If I knew...') as Exclamatory. However, some classifications might label 'If' structures differently, but the exclamation mark indicates Exclamatory. Key 8.d refers to 'Exclamatory' in the list (order: Assertive, Imperative, Optative, Exclamatory). In text, d is Exclamatory.)

12. c) Complex sentence (Contains a noun clause "What is lotted" as the subject. Subordinate clause থাকায় এটি Complex sentence.)

13. b) compound sentence (Two independent clauses joined by 'or'. Or দ্বারা যুক্ত থাকলে Compound sentence হয়।)

14. b) complex ('All that glitters' contains a relative clause 'that glitters', making it Complex. Relative clause থাকায় এটি Complex.)

The house in which we live in is small. Ans: A (Note: 'the way he writes' is often treated as Adverbial in "He writes [in] the way he writes", but here it functions as complement. B 'where she was born' modifies England (Adj). C 'I lost' modifies pen (Adj). D 'in which...' modifies house (Adj). Option A is often cited as containing an implied adverbial "in the way that". However, if the question asks for the clause itself acting adverbially, B 'where she was born' might be seen as place, but it has an antecedent. Actually, A is typically Noun Clause or Adjective Clause modifying 'way'. If none fit perfectly, A is often chosen as 'manner'. Source key says A).

Based on the options provided in the previous similar question (139), this looks like a continuation or a specific identification question for "The rumour, that she died...". This 'that she died' is a Noun Clause in apposition. However, if the question is "Which sentence has a noun clause?", then 'I know what he said' and 'The rumour...' both have noun clauses. If the question is "Which is adjective clause?", then 'He is the boy who came here'. Let's assume it asks to identify the clause in "The rumour...". It is a Noun Clause. The list of options below seems mixed. Let's look at Q141 for context).
