Question

Read the sentence to find out whether there is any error in any underlined part and if you find no error, your response should be indicated as (d):

(a)The watch is a valuable present from my uncle (b)and it costed him (c)more than two thousand rupees. (d)No error

• A. a
• B. b
• C. c
• D. No error

Answer 1

The correct option is B b

Let’s examine the sentence: “The watch is a valuable present from my uncle and it costed him more than two thousand rupees.” The sentence uses “costed,” which is wrong as “cost” is used as it is in all the three forms of this verb. Hence, “cost” would be used here instead of “costed.” So, the error is in Part b of the sentence. Hence, option B is the correct answer.
