Directions: Each item in this section has a sentence with three underlined parts labelled (a), (b) and (c). Read each sentence to determine whether there is an error in any underlined part and indicate your response on the answer sheet against the above-mentioned corresponding letter. If there is no error, indicate your response as (d).
(a) The unfair distribution
(b) of assets among the family members
(c) angered the more hardworking members of the family-owned firm.
(d) No error
- AThe unfair distribution
- Bof assets among the family members
- Cangered the more hardworking members of the familyowned firm.
- DNo error
Explanation
Parts (a) and (b) are grammatically unobjectionable: "the unfair distribution of assets among the family members" follows standard usage, with "among" correct for more than two members. The key flags part (c), where the comparative "the more hardworking members" invokes a comparison without a stated standard. Neither (a) nor (b) offers a competing error, so (c) is marked. Note: this key is disputed — verify against the official UPSC key.
