Question

Find out the error in the following sentence, if any. If there is no error, your answer is 'E'.
No other leader of India (A) is hold in so high esteem (B) as Mahatma Gandhi, who is (C) called the Father of the Nation. (D) No Error. (E)

• A. No other leader of India
• B. is hold in so high esteem
• C. as Mahatma Gandhi, who is
• D. called the Father of the Nation
• E. No Error

Answer 1

The correct option is B is hold in so high esteem

In the passive structure, an auxiliary verb is followed by the third form or the past participle form of the main verb. Hence, in here, it'll be 'is held'. Thus, the error is in part B. The other parts don't have any error and option E cannot be correct as the sentence contains an error.
