Question

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

The unreasonable behaviour (A) of his daughter (B) was thoroughly (C) upset Mr. Gupta. (D) No Error (E)

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

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

(C)

Part C of the sentence contains the error. Here the use of the auxiliary verb, 'was', is redundant which needs to be struck off. Hence, option C is correct. Option E isn't correct because the entire sentence does contain an error.
