Answer : 2. "Rajan has"
Explanation :
The correct sentence is:
Rajan has three brothers and three sisters.
Explanation: The verb "has" is the correct form to use with the pronoun "Rajan." The original sentence, "Rajan is having," is not grammatically incorrect but sounds less natural in this context. Using "has" makes the sentence sound more standard and common in English.

Answer : 4. "to say anything"
Explanation :
The correct sentence should be:
She was too startled at first to say anything, but finally, she blurted out the truth.
Explanation: The phrase "to say something" is the appropriate choice here. The verb "startled" is typically followed by an infinitive verb form, so "to say" is used. Additionally, the sentence benefits from proper punctuation, including a comma after "first" and another after "finally."
