Question

Find out the error in the following sentence, if any. If there is no error, your answer is 'E'.
The criminal (A) which was chained (B) grumbled at the Police Inspector (C) who was taking him to jail (D) No Error (E).

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D
• E. E

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

B

The criminal is a person, not a thing. Hence, the relative pronoun to be used is "who", that is, the subject being referred is a person. Hence, part B is incorrect. The rest of the options do not point out the erratic part, hence, incorrect.
