Question

Find out the error in the following sentence, if any. If there is no error, your answer is 'E'.

Once, we were dwelt (A) by the seaside (B) but now we have (C) settled ourselves in Mumbai. (D) No Error (E)

• A. (A)
• B. (B)
• C. (C)
• D. (D)
• E. (E)

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

(A)

Part A of the sentence contains the error. Here the use of the verb, 'were', is redundant which needs to be struck off. "Once, we dwelt...." is the grammatically correct usage. Hence, option A is correct.

Option E is incorrect because the entire sentence does contain an error. Options B, C and D are incorrect because the rest of the sentence is grammatically correct.
