Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDF- The passage discusses an accident involving two cars.
- The appropriate noun should describe the result of the accident.
- "Collision" fits well as it indicates an instance of two or more things striking forcefully together, which is consistent with the context of two cars involved in an accident.
- Other options ("clatter", "cluster", "pile") do not accurately describe the scenario of a car accident as intended in the passage.
- Clatter (खटखटाहट): "Clatter" means a continuous rattling sound as of hard objects falling or striking each other, which does not convey the idea of a car crash.
- Cluster (समूह): "Cluster" means a group of similar things or people positioned or occurring closely together, which does not reflect the idea of an accident.
- Pile (ढेर): "Pile" means a heap of things laid or lying one on top of another, which might describe a result of a crash but not as accurately as "collision" does.
