Question

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

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D
• E. E

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

B

Here, the use of "denied" makes the use "not" redundant. The correct construction is: He denied that he was present at the spot of occurrence. Therefore option B carries the error.
