Question

Read the sentence to find out whether there is any error in any underlined part.
(a) The situation is perilous (b) but if we are prepared promptly to act, (c) there is still one chance of escape.

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

Answer 1

The correct option is B (b)

Let’s examine the sentence: “The situation is perilous but if we are prepared promptly to act, there is still one chance of escape.” Here, the adverb “promptly” is describing the verb “act.” Hence, “promptly” would come after “act.” So, the error is in Part b of the sentence. Hence, Option B is the correct answer.
