A. to float
B. floating
C. was floating
D. had floated
সঠিক উত্তরঃ
B.
floating
Explanation: কোনো simple sentence এ দুটি main verb ব্যবহার করা যায় না। তাই একটি verb এর সাথে ing যোগ করতে হয় অথবা verb-টির পূর্বে to বসাতে হয়। উল্লেখ্য, উদ্দেশ্য বোঝাতে verbটির পূর্বে to বসাতে হয়। অর্থাৎ infinitive ব্যবহার করা হয়। উপরিউক্ত sentence এ কোনো উদ্দেশ্য বোঝায় না। এছাড়া ‘watch’ verb এর পর ‘to’ ব্যবহার করা হয় না। এরূপ আরো কিছু verb হলো make, let, see প্রভৃতি। to float ভুল, floating ঠিক। কারণ এখানে verb এর সাথে ing যোগ করা হয়েছে।
