Question

Read the sentence carefully and find out if there is any error in any part (a, b, c) of the sentence:
(a) It is most essential for us (b) to reach the station before noon (c) lest we should miss the train.

• A. (a)
• B. (b)
• C. (c)
• D. No error

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

No error

The option with the error is the correct option.
Option A: There isn't any error in this part :"It is most essential for us" as 'most' here is not a superlative here but an intensifier (taking the meaning of 'very'). Hence A is incorrect.
Option B: Similarly, "to reach the station before noon" also has no error (it's an infinitive phrase). Hence B is also incorrect.
Option C has no error; "lest we should miss the train" is a subordinate clause and lest is always followed by should.
Option D is the correct one because this sentence has no error in it.
