In this Section a number of sentences are given. The sentences are underlined in three separate parts and each one is labelled (a), (b) and (c). Read each sentence to find out whether there is an error in any underlined part. No sentence has more than one error. When you find an error in any one of the underlined parts (a), (b) or (c), indicate your response on the separate Answer Sheet at the appropriate space. You may feel that there is no error in a sentence. In that case letter (d) will signify a 'No error' response.
(a) At this turn of the conversation Vikram blurted out / (b) that he was not knowing me / (c) when I used to live in the same town as he.
- AAt this turn of the conversation Vikram blurted out

Explanation
Part (b): 'was not knowing' is wrong — stative verbs take the simple past: 'did not know'.
