Question

Refer the sentence below 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):

We must work very hard now to making up for the lost time. No error
(a) (b) (c) (d)

• A. a
• B. b
• C. c
• D. No error

Answer 1

The correct option is C c

"Making up" distorts the parallel structure of the sentence as it changes the grammatical pattern required to maintain the balance that parallelism demands: "making up" does not correspond to "work." So, the correct answer is option C.
