Find out the error in the following sentence, if any. If there is no error, your answer is 'E'.
The teacher asked (A) the students to go to (B) the market and buy some fruit (C) as apples, oranges, guavas, etc (D) No Error (E).

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D
• E. E

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

D

Here the use of "as" in part D is incorrect: it does not connect D to the rest of the sentence and distorts the structure of the sentence. It should be replaced with either "like" or "such as". Therefore option D carries the error.
