The Correct Option is B

Approach Solution - 1

A quicker way to check this sentence is to say each option out loud and listen for what sounds natural to a native speaker, then confirm it with the underlying rule.

"Here is he" sounds off because English speakers invert word order after "here" only when the subject is a full noun, such as "here comes the train." With a pronoun subject like "he," the normal order stays: "here he is." That already rules out the first option.

Next, look at the spelling of the contraction. "Where's" stands for "Where is," so the apostrophe must sit right after the "e" in "Where," giving "Where's." Placing it after the "s," as in "Wheres'," does not stand for anything and is simply a spelling error.

Finally, look at the punctuation and tone. An exclamation mark signals the speaker is pointing something out with certainty, "right in front of us." Phrasing it as a question, "Is he here," clashes with that certainty, so that version does not fit either.

Once the wrong word order, the wrong apostrophe, and the mismatched question form are ruled out, only one version is left standing.

So, the correct answer is Where's Hari? Here he is, right in front of us!

Approach Solution -2

Reading each option aloud, exactly as written, and noticing where the sentence first feels unnatural to a native speaker's ear is a quick way to work through this one.

  1. Option A: "Where's Hari? Here is he, right in front of us!" Said aloud, "here is he" is the moment that sounds backward, like a sentence that has been flipped around by mistake; a speaker pointing someone out would naturally say "here he is," not the reverse.
  2. Option B: "Where's Hari? Here he is, right in front of us!" Read from start to finish, this one moves smoothly, with "here he is" landing exactly the way a speaker would say it while pointing someone out.
  3. Option C: "Wheres' Hari? He is here, right in front of us!" This one does not trip the ear when spoken, since spoken language does not show apostrophes, but written down, "Wheres'" looks wrong the moment you see it, because the apostrophe after the "s" does not stand for any missing letter at all.
  4. Option D: "Where's Hari? Is he here, right in front of us!" Read aloud with its exclamation mark, "is he here" clashes with the confident, pointing-out tone the rest of the sentence carries; a genuine question would end on a rising, questioning note, not the assured "right in front of us!"

Trusting the natural rhythm of each option and then checking the reason behind the stumble points to the same option every time.

So, the correct answer is Where's Hari? Here he is, right in front of us!

Passage (extract): The work which Gandhiji had taken up was not only regarding the achievement of political freedom but also the establishment of a new social order based on truth and non-violence, unity and peace, equality and universal brotherhood and maximum freedom for all. A new order cannot be established without radically changing the mind and attitude of men towards property and, at some stage or the other, the 'haves' have to yield place to the 'have-nots'. We have seen, in our time, attempts to achieve a kind of egalitarian society and the picture of it after it was achieved. But this was done, by and large, through the use of physical force. It may even be that, like a gas kept confined within containers under great pressure, or water held back by a big dam, once the barrier breaks, the reaction will one day sweep back with a violence equal in extent and intensity to what was used to establish and maintain the outward egalitarian form. This enforced egalitarianism contains, in its bosom, the seed of its own destruction. If egalitarianism is to endure, it has to be based not on the possession of the maximum material goods by a few or by all but on voluntary, enlightened renunciation of those goods which cannot be shared by others or can be enjoyed only at the expense of others.

Passage (extract): The work which Gandhiji had taken up was not only regarding the achievement of political freedom but also the establishment of a new social order based on truth and non-violence, unity and peace, equality and universal brotherhood and maximum freedom for all. This unfinished part of his experiment was perhaps even more difficult to achieve than the achievement of political freedom. In the political struggle, the fight was against a foreign power and all one could do was either join it or wish it success and give it his/her moral support. In establishing a social order on this pattern, there was a strong possibility of a conflict arising between diverse groups and classes of our own people.

Passage (extract): In the political struggle, the fight was against a foreign power and all one could do was either join it or wish it success and give it his/her moral support. Experience shows that man values his possessions even more than his life because in the former he sees the means for perpetuation and survival of his descendants even after his body is reduced to ashes. We have seen, in our time, attempts to achieve a kind of egalitarian society and the picture of it after it was achieved. But this was done, by and large, through the use of physical force. This enforced egalitarianism contains, in its bosom, the seed of its own destruction. The root cause of class conflict is possessiveness or the acquisitive instinct.
