Each item in this section has a sentence with three underlined parts, labelled as (a), (b) and (c). Read each sentence to determine whether there is any error in any underlined part and indicate your response on the Answer Sheet against the corresponding letter, i.e., (a) or (b) or (c). If you find no error, your response should be indicated as (d).
(a) Tell me the name of (b) a country where every citizen is law-abiding (c) and no trouble is there. (d) No error.
- A(a)
- B(b)
- C(c)
- D(d)
Explanation
Part (c) has faulty word order: 'and no trouble is there' should be 'and there is no trouble'. English places the existential 'there' before the verb 'is', as in 'there is a country'. The corrected clause parallels part (b), reading 'a country where every citizen is law-abiding and there is no trouble'. Hence the error is in (c).
