Question

Four parts of the following sentence have been underlined. If there is any mistake in usage, syntax etc., it is only in the underlined parts. Choose the underlined part which is not acceptable in standard English. If all of them are acceptable, choose 'E'.

I think he suffers from imaginative ills. NO ERROR.
A B C D E

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D
• E. NO ERROR

Answer 1

The correct option is D D

Part D of the sentence is incorrect because 'imaginative' means having or showing creativity or inventiveness. This adjective has to be replaced with another adjective 'imaginary', which means existing only in the imagination or unreal, for the sentence to make logical sense. Option D is, therefore, the correct answer.

Options A, B and C are incorrect because the rest of the sentence is acceptable in standard English.

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