The correct answer is - ক) Though his behaviour is bad, people mix with him
• Simple থেকে Complex করার ক্ষেত্রে,
Simple sentence-এ যদি In spite of ব্যবহৃত হয়, তাহলে Complex sentence করতে হলে Though/Although ব্যবহার করতে হয়।
আবার, Complex sentence-এ Though/Although থাকলে, সেটিকে Simple sentence করতে হলে In spite of বসে।
• Example:
Simple: In spite of his bad behaviour, people mix with him.
Complex: Though his behaviour is bad, people mix with him.
• More examples:
Simple: In spite of the bad weather, we went there.
Complex: Though the weather was bad, we went there.
Simple: In spite of his poverty, he is happy.
Complex: Though he is poor, he is happy.
Simple: In spite of his honesty, he is not happy.
Complex: Though he is honest, he is not happy.
or, Honest as he is, he is not happy.
Simple: In spite of his cruelty, I love him.
Complex: Though he is cruel, I love him.
Other options
খ) His behaviour is bad though people mix with him.
এটি ভুল, কারণ “though” clause-এর অবস্থান এমনভাবে বসানো হয়েছে যা মূল বাক্যের অর্থ ঠিকমতো প্রকাশ করছে না।
গ) Although his bad behaviour, people mix with him.
এটি ভুল, কারণ “his bad behaviour” এর সাথে verb missing আছে। “Although his behaviour is bad” হবে।
ঘ) Though people mix with him, his behaviour is bad.
এটি ভুল, কারণ clause-এর ক্রম পরিবর্তিত হয়েছে, ফলে emphasis ও মূল বাক্যের অর্থ বিপরীত হয়েছে।
