Question

Find out the error in the following sentence, if any. If there is no error, your answer is 'E'.
Mr. Gupta disowned (A) his son only because (B) he was married (C) a schedule caste girl. (D) No Error. (E)

• A. Mr. Gupta disowned
• B. his only son because
• C. he was married
• D. a schedule caste girl
• E. No Error

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

he was married

Mr. Gupta's son married a schedule caste girl. Here, the subject is doing the action himself. So, the treatment of the verb has to be in active form. Hence, part C contains the error. The other parts don't have an error. Option E is incorrect as the sentence does contain an error.
