Question

Identify the part of a sentence which has a grammatical error:

[A] After finding the problem, [B] the mechanic cleaned the carburetor [C] started the engine [D] and found it working smoothly.

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D
• E. No Error

Answer 1

The correct option is A A

The sentence begins with after finding' which is the mistake in it. A sentence usually never begins with 'after finding' followed by the consequence of finding it. Whenever a sentence talks about the consequence of finding something, it must always begin with 'on finding'. Therefore the incorrect part of the sentence is A) A. The other three parts [B], [C] and [D] are correct.
