Topic: Translation and Proverb, Subject: English Grammar (ইংরেজি গ্রামার)

Best Answer Explained in Below-:

The correct translation of "সেই কনকলে শীতে আমি কাঁপতে লাগলাম" is option B: "I began trembling in that biting cold." Several elements make this choice the most accurate.

First, the Bengali phrase "সেই কনকলে" translates directly to "that biting cold," where "কনকলে" conveys an intense coldness that feels sharp, which is captured effectively by the word "biting" in English.

Second, the verb "কাঁপতে লাগলাম" translates to "began trembling." The English phrase "I began trembling" accurately reflects the initiation of the action, encapsulating both the sense of starting to tremble and the continuous nature of the action.

Option A, while close, contains a grammatical error: "is" unnecessarily breaks the tense structure and shifts the focus away from the beginning of the action. Options C and D either misinterpret the degree of cold or fail to convey the aspect of beginning to tremble.

Overall, option B provides an accurate, cohesive, and idiomatic translation that preserves the meaning and emotional impact of the original sentence.
