Each item in this section has a sentence with three underlined parts labelled (a), (b) and (c). Read each sentence to find out whether there is any error in any underlined part and indicate your response on the Answer Sheet against the corresponding letter, i.e., (a), (b) or (c). If you find no error, your response should be indicated as (d).
He was unable to recall / where he had hanged his shirt / after returning home from office.
EnglishSpotting Errors
- AHe was unable to recall
- Bwhere he had hanged his shirt
- Cafter returning home from office
- DNo error
Explanation
Part (b) confuses the two verbs 'hang': 'hanged' is reserved for execution by hanging, while suspending an object uses 'hang–hung–hung', so the sentence needs 'had hung his shirt'. Parts (a) and (c) are correct. The verb error in (b) makes B the answer.
