Show answer
Concept: An opening participle phrase ('Having been…') must refer to the subject placed right after the comma.
- Who was a member for years? A person – she.
- But the subject after the comma is 'the elevation', and a promotion cannot be a member.
- Fix part B: '…, she found her elevation to supervisor surprising but deeply valued.'
Trick: After a 'Having + V3' opener, ask: 'Who did it?' The answer must be the very next noun.
Answer: (B) the elevation to supervisor was
अवधारणा: वाक्य की शुरुआत में 'Having been…' जैसा phrase उसी subject के बारे में होना चाहिए जो comma के ठीक बाद आए।
हल:
- संस्था का member कौन था? एक व्यक्ति – 'she'।
- पर comma के बाद subject 'the elevation' (पदोन्नति) है, जो member नहीं हो सकती।
- अतः भाग B में गलती है; सही: '…, she found her elevation to supervisor surprising…'
ट्रिक: 'Having + V3' से शुरू वाक्य में पूछें – काम किसने किया? वही noun comma के बाद आना चाहिए।
उत्तर: (B) the elevation to supervisor was
