Question

Identify the part of a sentence which is grammatically incorrect:

[A] Sita claimed that she had

[B] not only gone to Delhi,

[C] but also to Agra

[D] and had seen the Taj Mahal

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

Answer 1

The correct option is B B

When using not only...but also in a sentence, parallelism should be the goal. It means that the words following both parts of this correlative conjunction ( i.e, not only and but also ) should belong to the same part of speech.

For example, if a verb follows not only, then a verb should also follow but also.

Here gone as a verb is used in option B, but is missing in option C. Therefore option B is grammatically incorrect here. Whereas other options are grammatically correct.
