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'.

I was sitting in the corner. He sat besides me. No error.
A B C D E

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D
• E. E

Answer 1

The correct option is D D

Here, "besides" is incorrect as it means 'except' or 'in addition to' whereas "beside" means 'next to'. "Beside" is the correct preposition here. So, the answer is option D.
