Concept: 'Because of' is a preposition (takes a noun); 'because' is a conjunction (takes a clause).
- After the blank we have 'he was exhausted' – subject + verb = a full clause.
- A clause needs the conjunction: Because he was exhausted, he could not finish… (or Because of his exhaustion…).
Trick: Check: if a verb follows, drop 'of'. Noun follows → keep 'because of'.
Answer: (A) Because of
अवधारणा: 'Because of' preposition है (इसके बाद noun आता है), 'because' conjunction है (इसके बाद clause आता है)।
- यहाँ आगे 'he was exhausted' है – subject + verb, यानी पूरा clause।
- इसलिए सही रूप: Because he was exhausted… या Because of his exhaustion…।
ट्रिक: आगे verb हो तो 'of' हटाइए; सिर्फ noun हो तो 'because of' रखिए।
उत्तर: (A) Because of
