Answer 1

Answer: (C)

C

Pronouns make up a small subcategory of nouns. The distinguishing characteristic of pronouns is that they can be substituted for other nouns to avoid repetition of the same.

Part C of the sentence is incorrect because there is no need of the pronoun 'he' in the given sentence structure. The subject noun is already mentioned and the sentence is clear enough to be meaningful. Hence option C is the correct answer.

Options A, B and D are incorrect because the rest of the sentence is grammatically correct.

Option E is incorrect because there is an error in the given sentence.
