Question

Find out the error in the following sentence, if any. If there is no error, your answer is 'E'.
When he lent me (A) some books, he asked (B) me to return then back (C) by the end of the month (D) No Error (E).

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D
• E. E

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

C

Here. "then back" of part C is incorrect: "then" should be "them" as the borrowed books are being referred here and "back" creates redundancy when "return" is already mentioned. So, option C carries the error.
