  3. Cof his mobile
  4. Dto lower the volume

Answer: B. has repeated asked him

Explanation

The correct answer is 'has repeated asked him' i.e. this part of the sentencehas an error . Key Points In the given sentence, the use of the verb'repeated' in place of an adverb is incorrect . The given sentence is in the present perfect tense . In present perfect structures, the adverbs must be placed just before the main verb in participle form . The adverb 'repeatedly' should be used in place of the verb 'repeated' . The adverb 'repeatedly' means over and over again; constantly . Hence, the correct answer is option 2 . Correct sentence:Deepu’s mother has repeatedly asked him to lower the volume of his mobile . Hinglish दिए गए वाक्य में adverb के स्थान पर verb ' repeated ' का प्रयोग गलत है। दिया गया वाक्य present perfect tense में है। Present perfect structures में, adverbs को main verb से ठीक पहले रखा जाना चाहिए । क्रिया ' repeated ' के स्थान पर ' repeatedly ' क्रियाविशेषण का प्रयोग करना चाहिए। क्रियाविशेषण ' repeatedly ' का अर्थ है बार-बार; निरंतर। अत: सही उत्तर विकल्प 2 है। सही वाक्य:Deepu’s mother has repeatedly asked him to lower the volume of his mobile .
