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) His friends feel that (b) he will be suspended (c) unless he does not report for duty immediately. (d) No error.
- A(a)
- B(b)
- C(c)
- D(d)
Explanation
Part (c) contains a double negative: 'unless' already carries a negative meaning equivalent to 'if not', so pairing it with 'does not report' is incorrect. The clause must drop the negation and read 'unless he reports for duty immediately'. Parts (a) and (b) are correct. Hence the error is in (c).
