Question

Following question consists of a sentence with three underlined parts labelled (a), (b) and (c). Read the sentence to find out whether there is any error in any underlined part. If you find no error, your response should be indicated as (d).
$\underset{\left(a\right)}{\underset{–}{\text{An electrical circuit}}}$ $\underset{\left(b\right)}{\underset{–}{\text{is the complete path}}}$ $\underset{\left(c\right)}{\underset{–}{\text{traversed by electric current}}}.$ $\underset{\left(d\right)}{\underset{–}{\text{No error}}}$

• A. (a)
• B. (b)
• C. (c)
• D. (d)

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

(c)

Option C is the correct answer because there is an error in part (c) of the sentence; it is missing an article. The correct usage is 'traversed by an electrical current'. The indefinite article is used in the sense to indicate singularity in a general sense. Since we are talking about one electric circuit carrying one electric current 'an' is the correct article to be used.

Options A, B and D are incorrect because there are no errors in these parts.
