Which one of the following parts of the sentence, ‘Don’t ask him how he is because if he starts talking about his health you’ll never get off from him” has an error?
General EnglishVocabulary
- ADon’t ask him how he is because
- BIf he starts talking about his health you’ll never
- Cget off from him
- DNo error
Explanation
The idiom is to get rid of someone, meaning to free oneself from them. Get off from him is ungrammatical: off does not combine with from before a person in this sense. The error is therefore in part C (get off from him); the intended meaning is you will never get rid of him.
