Question

In the following sentence, four words or phrases have been underlined. Choose the word or the phrase which is not appropriate in standard written English. If the sentence has no error, mark (5).

The main fault with (1) the old guards (2) is that they are always determined to (3) resist against (4) any new idea. NO ERROR (5)

Answer 1

[4] "Against" is redundant here because it has the same meaning as "resist". Therefore it must be dropped.
