Question

Find out the error in the following sentence, if any. If there is no error, your answer is 'E'.
Looking into the situation (A) that prevailed a few years (B) ago, he was taken (C) that decision. (D) No Error. (E)

• A. Looking into the decision
• B. that prevailed a few years
• C. ago, he was taken
• D. that decision
• E. NO Error

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

ago, he was taken

The error is in part C. It can either be 'he has taken' or 'he took'. The decision was taken by him. The decision doesn't describe him, it's a call that he 'took' or 'has taken'. The other parts of the sentence don't have any error and option E cannot be true because the sentence contains an error.
