Which of the following sentences is a correct example of a preceding/absolutive verb (पूर्वकालिक क्रिया)?
- Aवह अपना काम कर चुका है ।
- Bराम ने एक घर बनवाया ।
- Cखाना खाकर वह पढ़ने बैठेगा ।
- Dवह जहर खाते ही मर गया ।
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
A preceding verb (पूर्वकालिक क्रिया) denotes an action completed before the main action begins. It is formed by adding 'कर' or 'करके' to the root verb. In option C, 'खाकर' (having eaten) is a preceding verb because the act of eating is completed before sitting to study.
