Identify the part containing the error in the sentence (if no error, answer is (d)): Ramesh liked his friend’s music player to his own
General EnglishGrammar and usage
- ARamesh liked
- Bhis friend’s music player
- Cto his own
- DNo error
Explanation
The verb 'like' does not take 'to' in comparisons; the correct verb is 'prefer', as in 'preferred his friend's music player to his own'. The faulty choice of verb sits in part (a) 'Ramesh liked', so the error is in (a). Parts (b) and (c) are fine once the verb is corrected.
