Marry asked a question to Mohan yesterday.

Let's break down why "Option A: has" is the correct answer:
- Option A: "has" is the singular form of the verb "to have." It agrees in number with the singular subject "Merry." So, "Merry has two husbands" is grammatically correct.

The other options are incorrect because:
- Option B: "have" is the plural form of the verb "to have." It does not agree in number with the singular subject "Merry."
- Option C: "is" is the singular form of the verb "to be," but it doesn't fit in the context of the sentence. "Merry is two husbands" would not make sense.
- Option D: "are" is the plural form of the verb "to be" and is also not suitable for this sentence. "Merry are two husbands" is grammatically incorrect.

In summary, the correct answer is "Option A: has" because it correctly matches the singular subject "Merry" with the singular verb "has," resulting in the grammatically correct sentence "Merry has two husbands."

Might is the past form of may.

The correct answer is Option A: of.

The correct sentence is: Monday is the first day of the week.

Explanation of the Grammar Rule:
The preposition "of" is used to show a relationship between a part and a whole or to indicate belonging. In this sentence, Monday is identified as the first day belonging to the week.

Why the Other Options Are Incorrect:
Option B: after — "After" indicates something that comes later in time or order. It does not fit the intended meaning of the sentence.

Option C: during — "During" means throughout or within a period of time. It is not appropriate for identifying the first day of a week.

Option D: before — "Before" indicates something that comes earlier than another time or event. It does not correctly express the relationship between Monday and the week.

Remember for Exams:
Use "of" to express the relationship between a part and a whole, as in "the first day of the week" or "the capital of India."
