• D. $\text{(i)}$ is grammatically incorrect and $\text{(ii)}$ is ambiguous

Comments

what is meant by ambiguous and unambiguous in the second sentence?

---

Ambiguous meaning more than one possible meaning

Unambiguous meaning only one meaning  

Here in the sentence, he  could be Danish also or it could be Babu also we couldn't confirm it 

Hence, second statement is Ambiguous.

Option C is perfect answer

 

Answer 1

1. Everybody in the class is prepared for the exam.

The above statement is correct as when we say everybody or everyone, we are considering the class as a unit. So singular form of the verb “is”  is correct. 

2. Babu invited Danish to his house because he enjoys playing chess.

The above statement is ambiguous because we are not sure who “he” refers to –  it can be either Babu or Danish. 

Option C follows from the above.

C

Answer 2

Ans.C

The correct observation is:

1 is grammatically correct and 2 is ambiguous.

Reason: The first sentence is clear and correct. The second sentence is grammatically correct but ambiguous because it's unclear whether "he" refers to Babu or Danish, leading to potential confusion about who enjoys playing chess.
