Question

Select the part of the sentence which has an error in it. If the sentence is correct, select ''No Error'':
(a) I have tried (b) to meet him several times; (c) he isn't never at home. (d) No ERROR

• A. a
• B. b
• C. c
• D. d

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

c

The option that has an error, is the correct option.
Option C: The error lies in part (c): 'he isn't never at home'. The word 'not' is the error ('isn't' is a contraction of 'is not').
'Not' tells us that the action was not done. But, there's an adverb that already means 'not ever' = never.
When we say 'never', we don't use the negative adverb 'not'.
The correction is 'he is never at home'. (or, 'he isn't ever at home)
Hence option C is the correct option with the error.
The other parts (a) and (b) do not have any error in them. They are grammatically correct and are complete in meaning.
Hence options A and B are not the right answers.
Option D is incorrect because the sentence has an error (c).
