    Solutions

    The error is in part (B) of the sentence. Here, the use of preposition "of" is incorrect and should be replaced by "off". "Take off" is a phrasal verb which means to (of an aircraft) to leave the ground and fly.

     

  • Question 9/10
    1 / -0

    In the following question, some part of the sentence may have errors. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If the sentence is free from error, select 'No error'.

    To the ordinary man, in fact, the pealing of bells (1)/ is a monotonous jangle and a nuisance (2)/ tolerably only when mitigated by remote distance and sentimental association. (3)/ No error

    Solutions

    The word ‘tolerable’ should be used in place of “tolerably” which means able to be endured. It is because the sentence requires an adjective and not an adverb.

    In the following question, some part of the sentence may have errors. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If the sentence is free from error, select 'No error'.

    He says that (A)/ he reads novels (B)/ to pass away the time. (C)/ No error (D)

    Solutions

    In the sentence, ‘pass away’ is wrongly used. Because the phrasal verb ‘pass away’ is used to avoid saying ‘die’ when you think this might upset someone. 
    The correct sentence is ‘He says that he reads novels to pass the time.’
