Show Hint
- Code switching in P and Q
- Borrowing in P and Q
- Code switching in P and borrowing in Q
- Borrowing in P and code switching in Q
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
- Code switching involves switching between two or more languages or dialects in a conversation. - Borrowing refers to the incorporation of a word or phrase from one language into another, typically without switching languages.
Step 2: Analyzing the options.
- (A) Code switching in P and Q: In P, "Hasnain said ki woh kal aayegaa" contains a mix of Urdu and English, switching between the two languages. Similarly, Q also switches between English and Hindi with "desi vegetables" where "desi" is a Hindi word incorporated into the English sentence. This makes (A) correct.
- (B) Borrowing in P and Q: This is incorrect because both utterances involve code switching, not borrowing.
- (C) Code switching in P and borrowing in Q: This is incorrect because Q is an example of code switching, not borrowing.
- (D) Borrowing in P and code switching in Q: This is incorrect because the phrase "ki woh kal aayegaa" involves code switching, not borrowing.
Step 3: Conclusion.
The correct answer is (A) Code switching in P and Q, as both utterances contain examples of code switching between languages.
