Explanation:
The given sentence is grammatically correct and does not contain any errors. However, let's analyze the sentence to understand the role of each component.
1. It is better: This phrase sets the tone for the sentence and introduces the idea that something is preferable.
2. to write with a pen: This part of the sentence indicates the action that is being discussed, which is writing with a pen.
3. whose nib: Here, "whose" is a possessive pronoun that refers to the pen. It specifies that the pen has a nib, which is the pointed part used for writing.
4. is smooth: This clause describes the quality of the nib. It states that the nib is smooth.
5. No error: This phrase indicates that the sentence is grammatically correct and does not contain any mistakes.
Thus, option 'C' is correct because it accurately identifies that "whose nib" is a valid and necessary component of the sentence. Removing it would result in an incomplete sentence and a lack of clarity regarding what exactly is being referred to.
In summary, the sentence is structurally sound and conveys the idea that it is preferable to write with a pen that has a smooth nib.

Kirti rao answered |
The given sentence "Nothing is as good like we think" is grammatically incorrect. The error lies in part (c) "like we." Here's the corrected sentence:
"Nothing is as good as we think."
Explanation:
The phrase "as good as" is a comparative phrase used to make a comparison between two things. In this case, it is used to compare the actual quality of something to our perception or belief about its quality.
Now, let's break down the sentence and analyze each part:
a) "Nothing is" - This part of the sentence is correct. It implies that there is nothing in general.
b) "as good" - This is also correct. It establishes the comparative nature of the sentence, comparing the quality of something.
c) "like we" - This is the incorrect part. The correct phrase to use here is "as we." The word "like" is not appropriate in this context as it doesn't convey the intended meaning of the sentence.
d) "think" - This part is correct. It means our perception or belief about something.
By using the correct phrase "as we" instead of "like we," we create a proper comparison between the quality of something and our perception of its quality.
Corrected sentence: "Nothing is as good as we think."
In conclusion, the error in the original sentence lies in part (c) where "like we" should be replaced with "as we." The corrected sentence conveys the intended meaning that the quality of something may not be as good as our perception or belief about it.

Padmini dasgupta answered |
Error Analysis:
The given sentence contains an error of double negation. The use of 'until' and 'do not' in the same sentence creates a negative sense that does not convey the intended meaning. The correct way to express this sentence would be to use only one negative word, either 'until' or 'do not.'
Solution:
The corrected sentence can be written as follows:
Until I inform my teacher, I shall not go out of the school.
Explanation:
- Until: Until is a preposition that means up to the point in time or the event mentioned. It is used to indicate that something will continue up to a certain time or event.
- I: The subject of the sentence is 'I,' which refers to the speaker or writer.
- Inform: Inform is a verb that means to give information or knowledge to someone. In this sentence, it is used to indicate that the speaker will inform their teacher about something.
- My teacher: 'My teacher' is the object of the verb 'inform.' It refers to the person who is responsible for the speaker's education.
- I shall not go out of the school: This phrase means that the speaker will not leave the school until they inform their teacher.
Conclusion:
The corrected sentence conveys the intended meaning without any ambiguity. It follows the correct grammatical structure and does not contain any double negation. By using a positive construction, the sentence becomes clearer and more effective in conveying the intended meaning.

Sonali kumar answered |
The given sentence is grammatically correct, except for the usage of the phrase "was because". The phrase "was because" is redundant, as both "was" and "because" convey the same meaning. Therefore, the correct answer is option B, which suggests that there is an error in the usage of the phrase "was because".
Explanation:
The sentence can be broken down into the following parts:
- The reason he was late
- because
- he had been caught in rain
The sentence is structurally correct, as it follows a cause-and-effect structure. However, the phrase "was because" is a redundant usage of the word "because". This is because "was" already conveys the meaning of "because", making the phrase redundant.
To correct the sentence, we can simply remove the phrase "was because" and replace it with "because". This would result in the following sentence:
The reason he was late was because he had been caught in rain.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B, which suggests that there is an error in the usage of the phrase "was because".

Priyadarshini bhatia answered |
Explanation:
The error in the given sentence is in part (C), "till yesterday."
Corrected Sentence:
My book has been missing from my room until yesterday.
Detailed Explanation:
The sentence describes the situation where the book was missing from the author's room. However, the use of "till yesterday" in part (C) is incorrect.
The word "till" is used to indicate a specific point in time until which an action or state continues. However, in this context, "until" would be a more appropriate word choice. "Until" refers to a point in time up to which an action or state continues, and it clearly defines that the book was missing until yesterday, but not anymore.
Here is the breakdown of the sentence:
Part (A): My book has been missing
- This part of the sentence is grammatically correct. It states that the book has been missing, indicating a state of being.
Part (B): from my room
- This part of the sentence is also grammatically correct. It clarifies the location from where the book is missing, which is the author's room.
Part (C): till yesterday
- This is the incorrect part of the sentence. The word "till" should be replaced with "until" to convey the correct meaning.
Part (D): no error
- This part is incorrect as the sentence contains an error in part (C).
Therefore, the corrected sentence would be: "My book has been missing from my room until yesterday." This revised sentence clearly communicates that the book was missing until the previous day, implying that it has been found or returned since then.

- This is the incorrect part of the sentence. The word "till" should be replaced with "until" to convey the correct meaning.

- This part is incorrect as the sentence contains an error in part (C).
Therefore, the corrected sentence would be: "My book has been missing from my room until yesterday." This revised sentence clearly communicates that the book was missing until the previous day, implying that it has been found or returned since then.

Nilanjan Verma answered |
Explanation:
Hardly had he left the house:
- This part of the sentence indicates that the action of leaving the house had just occurred.
Than the bandit:
- This part is used to show a comparison between two events or actions.
Broke into the house:
- This part of the sentence indicates the action the bandit took after the person had left the house.
The error is in the use of "than" which is incorrect in this context. The correct word to use here is "when" as it shows the sequence of events more accurately.
The corrected sentence would be: Hardly had he left the house when the bandit broke into the house.

Nilanjan Verma answered |
Explanation:
Identifying the error:
- The error in this sentence lies in the phrase "as to when murder," which is redundant and unnecessary.
Correcting the error:
- The phrase "as to" can be replaced with "about" to make the sentence more concise and clear.
- The corrected sentence would be: "The police came to find out about when the murder took place."

Explanation:
The error in the given sentence is in part B: "as well as Vina".
The correct form of the sentence would be: "Both Mamta and Vina were absent from the class."
Explanation:
The phrase "as well as" is used to indicate that two or more things are being mentioned together. In this case, the two things being mentioned are "Mamta" and "Vina".
Therefore, the correct conjunction to use between the two names is "and", not "as well as".
Additionally, the verb "were" is used correctly to agree with the plural subject "Both Mamta and Vina".
The rest of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not contain any errors.

The word "but" is the conjunction in the sentence. It connects two contrasting ideas: having little money and being very content. Conjunctions are words that join clauses, sentences, or words, and in this sentence, "but" serves that purpose.

Explanation:
The error in the sentence can be found in option B: "long after her".
The correct phrase should be "long after her husband returned".
Here's a breakdown of the sentence:
1. She had waited: This part of the sentence is correct. It indicates that the subject (she) had been waiting for a certain period of time.
2. long after her: This is the incorrect part of the sentence. The phrase "long after her" is incomplete and does not make sense. It lacks a noun or pronoun to complete the phrase.
3. husband returned: This part of the sentence is correct. It states that the subject's husband has returned after being away for some time.
To fix the error, we need to add a noun or pronoun after the phrase "long after her". This will provide clarity and coherence to the sentence.
The corrected sentence would be: She had waited long after her husband returned.
In this revised sentence, the phrase "long after her husband returned" functions as an adverbial phrase, modifying the verb "waited". It indicates the duration or extent of the waiting.
Overall, the error in the sentence is the incomplete phrase "long after her", which can be corrected by adding the missing noun or pronoun.
