अचूक उत्तर: पर्याय (4)
The correct answer is 'There goes Mrs. Goswami'.
Explanation & Key Takeaways:
• The use of 'goes' is not appropriate.
• The proper phrase should be 'There are Mrs. Goswami and her smiling little kids' because when the subject is plural (Mrs. Goswami and her kids), the verb should agree in number (so use 'go' instead of 'goes').
• With correct grammar, the sentence would read, "There go Mrs. Goswami and her smiling little kids in the pram across the road."
Therefore, the correct answer is "option 4".
