Question

Four parts of each of the following sentence are underlined. One of the underlined parts may not be acceptable in standard written English. Select that part. If all of them are acceptable in standard English mark 'E'.

The reason why he is absent is not known to me. No error.
A B C D E

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D
• E. E

Answer 1

The correct option is B B

Here, the error is in part B of the sentence: "he is absent" is the wrong tense and does not fit with the context. "He is absent" should be changed to "he was absent". So, the answer is option B.
