Om Patel answered |
The sentence given is a reported speech or indirect speech, where the girl's words are being reported. The sentence is grammatically correct and has no error.
Explanation:
- Reported speech: The sentence is a reported speech as the girl's words are being reported indirectly or secondhand. The reported speech is introduced by the conjunction 'that', and the verb 'preferred' is changed to the past tense 'had preferred' to agree with the reporting verb 'said'.
- Comparison: The girl is comparing two gowns, the blue one and the black one. To make a comparison, we use the conjunction 'than'. Therefore, the use of 'than' in option D is correct.
- Error analysis: The sentence is correct, and all the parts of speech are in the right place. There is no grammatical error in the sentence. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
Conclusion:
The sentence given is a reported speech comparing two gowns. It is grammatically correct and has no error. The answer is option D, i.e., 'No error.'

Madhavi bhatia answered |
Error Identification:
The given sentence is grammatically incorrect. The error is in part (a), where the phrase "told to her" should be replaced with "told her."
Explanation:
The verb "tell" is a transitive verb, which means it is always followed by a direct object. In this sentence, the direct object is "her," which refers to the person to whom the man spoke. Therefore, we need to use the verb "told" directly followed by the direct object "her." The phrase "told to her" is redundant and unnecessary.
The other parts of the sentence are grammatically correct. The sentence is in the past tense, and the verb tense agreement is maintained throughout the sentence. The sentence is also structurally correct, following the subject-verb-object order.

Akshat Basu answered |
Explanation:
The given sentence is grammatically correct and there are no errors in it. However, if we consider the sentence in terms of clarity and conciseness, we can suggest a few changes.
- Children often quarrel over petty issues.
Here, we have made the following changes:
- Removed the preposition "on" and used "over" instead. "Quarrel over" is a common phrase used to indicate the reason for a quarrel.
- Used "petty issues" instead of "petty". This makes the sentence more specific and clear. "Petty" alone is vague and could refer to anything.
Therefore, option B is the correct answer as it suggests a slight improvement in the clarity and conciseness of the sentence.

Error Spotting in the Given Sentence
The given sentence is:
My brother has ordered for a new book.
The error in the sentence is in part (B), where the verb 'ordered' is followed by the preposition 'for'. The correct preposition to be used with the verb 'ordered' is 'a'. Therefore, the correct sentence is:
My brother has ordered a new book.
Explanation
- The sentence is in the present perfect tense, which is formed by using the auxiliary verb 'has' and the past participle of the main verb 'ordered'.
- The verb 'order' means to request or demand something to be made, supplied, or done. It takes the preposition 'a' to indicate the thing that is being ordered.
- The preposition 'for' is used to indicate the purpose or the person for whom something is being done. Therefore, it is incorrect to use 'for' with the verb 'ordered'.
- The sentence has no other errors and is grammatically correct after the correction.
Conclusion
The correct sentence is:
My brother has ordered a new book.
This sentence is in the present perfect tense and is grammatically correct. The error in the original sentence was the use of the incorrect preposition 'for' instead of 'a' after the verb 'ordered'.

Namrata nayar answered |
Error in Part (B): "often emphasized on" should be corrected to "often emphasized"
Explanation:
- The sentence talks about the teaching style of a Mathematics teacher.
- The verb "emphasized" means to give importance or priority to something. It is used correctly in the sentence.
- The preposition "on" after "emphasized" is incorrect. Instead, the correct preposition to use here is "the need for" which means the requirement or necessity of something.
- The phrase "a lot of practice" is used correctly in the sentence to emphasize the importance of practice in learning Mathematics.
- Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "Our Mathematics teacher often emphasized the need for a lot of practice."

Bijoy Kulkarni answered |
The error is in Part (C) of the sentence. The correct sentence should be:
"The venue of examination is one mile further up the hill."
The word "further" should be replaced with "farther" to indicate physical distance. The word "further" is used to indicate a figurative or metaphorical distance, while "farther" is used for literal or physical distance.
Corrected sentence:
The venue of examination is one mile farther up the hill.

Error Analysis: The error in the given sentence is in part (c), which says "to dispense his services."
Corrected Sentence: The correct sentence should be: "His employers were made to dispense with his services for his negligence."
Explanation: The phrase "dispense with" is the correct expression to indicate the act of discontinuing or terminating someone's services. The phrase "to dispense his services" is incorrect. "Dispense with" means to do away with, and it is the appropriate preposition to use in this context.
Corrected Sentence: "His employers were made to dispense with his services for his negligence."
Therefore, Right Answer - Option C.

Error Analysis:The error in the given sentence is in part B, which says "was bound by."
Corrected Sentence: The correct sentence should be: "The accused was bound with a chain and taken to prison."
Explanation: The preposition "by" is used to indicate the agent performing an action (e.g., "The book was written by the author"). However, when referring to the instrument or material used for binding, the correct preposition is "with" (e.g., "bound with a rope"). Therefore, the phrase "was bound by a chain" is incorrect and should be corrected to "was bound with a chain."
Corrected Sentence:"The accused was bound with a chain and taken to prison."
Therefore,Right Answer- Option B
