Question

Select the part of the sentence that has an error. If the sentence is correct select "No Error".

Because of extenuating circumstances the court acquitted him from the crime. No error.
(a) (b) (c) (d)

• A. a
• B. b
• C. c
• D. No error

Answer 1

The correct option is C c

Let’s examine the sentence: “Because of extenuating circumstances the court acquitted him from the crime.” The sentence wrongly uses the preposition “from” with “acquit.” The preposition that is used with “acquit” is “of.” Hence, “from” should be replaced by “of” in the sentence. So, the error is in Part c of the sentence. Hence, Option C is the correct answer.
