• B. Only 2 , 3
• C. Only 1 , 3
• D. All are correct

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Only 1 , 2

• Option 1: "She must be either a novelist or a playwright." (അവൾ ഒന്നുകിൽ ഒരു നോവലിസ്റ്റ് അല്ലെങ്കിൽ ഒരു നാടകകൃത്ത് ആയിരിക്കണം).
  This is correct because it uses "either...or" properly to present two alternatives. It is a clear and concise way to state the options.
• Option 2: "She must either be a novelist or be a playwright." (അവൾ ഒന്നുകിൽ ഒരു നോവലിസ്റ്റ് ആയിരിക്കണം അല്ലെങ്കിൽ ഒരു നാടകകൃത്ത് ആയിരിക്കണം.).
  This is also correct. The repetition of "be" is acceptable and adds clarity to the sentence, though it is more formal and less common.
• Option 3: "She must be a novelist or a playwright either."
  This is incorrect because placing "either" at the end of the sentence is not standard usage and does not fit the conventional structure for presenting alternatives with "either...or."
