Question

Find out the error in the following sentence, if any. If there is no error. your answer is 'E'.
The teacher asked (A) the students whether they could (B) tell the name of the man (C) who had been discovered America(D) No Error.(E)

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D
• E. E

Answer 1

The correct option is D D

It will be 'who had discovered' instead of 'who had been discovered'. Here we are referring to the man as the subject and not America, so the active voice of the verb needs to be used. Thus, part D contains the error. There is no error in parts A, B and C of the sentence. E cannot be the answer as there is an error in part D.
