Question

Four parts 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 child appears to be sick in appearance. No error.
A B C D E

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D
• E. E

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

D

Since "appears" is already there in the sentence, "in appearance" simply creates redundancy. So, part D is incorrect. Option D is the answer.
