Question

Find the grammatically incorrect part of the sentence, if any.

[A] People in many parts of Africa

[B] are suffering from chronicle under-nourishment

[C] because of the total absence of rain

[D] for four consecutive years.

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D
• E. No Error

Answer 1

The correct option is B B

The given sentence talks about under-nourishment in many parts of Africa due to absence of rain for four consecutive years. Part [B] of the sentence uses the word 'chronicle' to indicate the long standing or persistent problem of under-nourishment and it is incorrect. The correct word to use is 'Chronic'. 'Chronicle' is the word given to historical events mentioned in order of their occurrence. Therefore, the incorrect part of the sentence is [B] and the correct answer is option (B).
