Question

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

He does nothing (A) but to find (B) faults in others and laugh (C) at them. (D) No Error (E)

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

Answer 1

The correct option is B (B)

Part B of the sentence contains the error. Here the use of the preposition, 'to', is redundant and needs to be struck off. Hence, option B is correct. "He does nothing but find faults......." is the correct structure of the sentence.

Option E is incorrect because the entire sentence does contain an error. Options A, C and D are incorrect because the rest of the sentence is grammatically correct.
