Question

Read the sentence to find out whether there is an error in any underlined part.
(a) Though his is good (b) he is (c) mischievous.

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

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

(a)

Let’s examine the sentence: “(a) Though his is good (b) he is (c) mischievous.” The verb ‘is’ requires a subjective pronoun as its subject. A subjective pronoun acts as the subject of a sentence—it performs the action of the verb. The subjective pronouns are he, I, it, she, they, we, and you. So, ‘his’ should be replaced by ‘he’ in the sentence. Hence, the error is in Part A of the sentence. So, Option A is the correct answer.
