Question

Select the part of the sentence which has an error in it. If the sentence is correct, select ''No Error'':
(a) The last thing that the fond mother (b) gave her only son (c) was his blessing. (d) No ERROR

• A. a
• B. b
• C. c
• D. d

Answer 1

The correct option is C c

The option that has an error, is the correct option.
Option C: The error lies in part (c): 'was his blessing'. The word 'his' is the error.
('Blessing' means 'a prayer asking for divine favour and protection'. It is what one person gives to another.)
It was the mother who gave her blessings/wishes to her son.
So, the pronoun used will be 'her' and not 'his'.
The correction is 'was her blessing'.
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).
