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).
She was out of the mind, when she made that plan to go abroad without taking into consideration her present family position. No error.
- A(a)
- B(b)
- C(c)
- D(d)
Explanation
The fixed idiom is 'out of one's mind', meaning not thinking clearly; 'out of the mind' with the definite article is unidiomatic and wrong. The plan being 'that plan to go abroad' is acceptable demonstrative use, since the plan is specified by what follows it. The idiom error sits in the opening part (a). The stored key (B) flagged the wrong part, so it is corrected here. Hence option A is correct.
