Directions:
In the following questions, one part of the sentence may have an error. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and choose the option corresponding to it. If the sentence is free from error, choose "No error".
Question : 1
They will (1)/ leave the office at six and (2)/ reach at home by seven. (3)/ No error (4)
a) They will
b) leave the office at six and
c) reach at home by seven.
d) No error
Answer »Answer: (c)
Reach (Verb) = to arrive at
Look at the sentence : They did not reach the border until after dark.
It is not proper to use preposition ‘at’ with reach here.
Question : 3

a) The museum’s revolving doors
b) stopped the crooks
c) as they jam half way round.
d) No error
Answer »Answer: (c)
The sentence shows past time.
Hence, Past simple i.e. as they jammed half way round ...... should be used here.
Question : 4
He had no (1)/ accuse for attacking (2)/ that old man. (3)/ No error (4)
a) He had no
b) accuse for attacking
c) that old man.
d) No error
Answer »Answer: (b)
Accuse (verb) = to say that somebody has done
something wrong or is guilty of something.
Excuse (Noun) = a reason, either true or invented that you give to explain or defend your behaviour.
Hence, excuse (Noun) for attacking ... should be used here.
Question : 5
Mothers keep on (1)/ to encouraging their children (2)/ to study. (3)/ No error (4)
a) Mothers keep on
b) to encouraging their children
c) to study.
d) No error
Answer »Answer: (b)
Keep on doing something = continue doing something. It is superfluous to use preposition ‘to’.

Keep on (at somebody) about something = to speak to somebody often.
I will do it – just don't keep on at me about it.
