Question

... on see dear Uncle Tagore. ...

• A. see - saw
• B. on - to
• C. dear - dearer
• D. no error

Answer 1

The correct option is B on - to

The base verb in this sentence is 'see'.

An infinitive verb is a verb with the word “to” in front of it.

Thus option B is correct, where we will replace the word 'on' with 'to' in order to make it in the correct form of an infinitive verb. Here 'to' isn't acting as a preposition but is part of the verb 'see'.

The incorrect options are:

See - Saw, would be incorrect in accordance with the tense of the sentence.

Dear - Dearer, would be incorrect as the superlative degree of 'dear' isn't needed as there is no comparison done in the sentence.
