Question

Find out the error in the following sentence, if any. If there is no error, mark your answer as 'E.
He is almost quite competent (A) for the post of Manager, (B) so when given a chance, (C) he can lead the company to its goal. (D) No Error. (E)

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D
• E. E

Answer 1

The correct option is A A

Part A of the sentence is incorrect as 'almost' and 'quite' are contradicting in their meanings. 'Quite' means to a certain or fairly significant extent or degree and 'almost' means not quite or nearly. For the sentence to be completely correct in its meaning 'almost' has to be stricken off.

Hence option A is the correct answer and the other options are incorrect because the rest of the sentence is grammatically correct. Option E is incorrect because there is an error in the sentence.
