Question

What can be gained ………… every one is poor.

• A. but
• B. that
• C. when
• D. of

Answer 1

Answer:

C. when

• but: This word typically introduces a contrast or exception. The sentence structure does not indicate a contrasting idea but rather a conditional situation.
• • Example: "He is rich, but he is unhappy. / അവൻ സമ്പന്നനാണ്, പക്ഷേ അവൻ അസന്തുഷ്ടനാണ്." (Contrasts being rich with being unhappy)
• that: This word usually introduces a defining clause or a specific condition, but it doesn't fit logically in this context.
• • Example: "He said that he would come." (Introduces a reported speech or a specific condition)
• of: This preposition doesn't logically fit the sentence structure. It typically shows possession or relation, not a condition (കൈവശം അല്ലെങ്കിൽ ബന്ധം കാണിക്കുന്നു).
• • Example: "The color of the car is red./ കാറിൻ്റെ നിറം ചുവപ്പാണ്." (Shows relation or possession)
• when: This word introduces a time-based or conditional clause. It fits logically as it connects the condition of everyone being poor with the possibility of gaining something.
• • Example: "What can be gained when everyone is poor? / എല്ലാവരും ദരിദ്രരായിരിക്കുമ്പോൾ എന്ത് നേടാനാകും?" (Asks about the possibility of gaining under the condition that everyone is poor / എല്ലാവരും ദരിദ്രരാണെന്ന വ്യവസ്ഥയിൽ നേടാനുള്ള സാധ്യതയെക്കുറിച്ച് ചോദിക്കുന്നു)
