Question

Select the option which has an error in it. If the sentence is correct, select "No error".

(a) He is every bit (b) as guilty (c) as I. (d) No ERROR

• A. a
• B. b
• C. c
• D. d

Answer 1

The correct option is D d

The option that states the part with the error is the correct option.
These parts a, b and c draw a comparison between two individuals 'he' and 'I', where 'he' is as guilty as 'I'. The third part has an elliptical sentence 'I'. An elliptical sentence is a shortened sentence (or just a word) that has words missing in it. These words are implied, and this type of sentence is used to avoid a repetition of similar words in the sentence.
If you expand the sentence, it is: 'He is every bit as guilty as I am.'
Hence, the verb 'am' can be implied and does not have to be included.
The parts do not contain any error. They are grammatically correct and have a complete meaning.
Hence, options A, B and C are all wrong answers.
Option D is correct as it states: NO ERROR
