He prevented me to go there. No error.
A B C D E

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D
• E. E

Answer 1

The correct option is D D

Let’s examine the sentence: “He prevented me to go there.” The sentence uses the verb ‘prevented’ which is the past tense of the verb ‘prevent.’ In standard English, the verb ‘prevent’ in all its forms is followed by an object + from + gerund. In the sentence, the object is ‘me,’ which should be followed by ‘from’ and the gerund of ‘go,’ which is ‘going.’ Hence, the correct sentence would be, “He prevented me from going there.” So, the error is in Part D of the sentence. Hence, Option D is the correct answer.
