Explanation of the Sentence Structure
The sentence "Little water that was left in the bottle was not enough to quench the thirst of two persons" is grammatically correct. Let's break down the components:
Analysis of Each Part
- Little water: This is the subject of the sentence. The phrase "little water" is correct and indicates a small quantity.
- that was left: This is a relative clause modifying "little water." It provides additional information about the water, indicating which water is being referred to.
- in the bottle was not enough: This part of the sentence indicates the location of the water and its insufficiency. The structure here is also correct.
- to quench the thirst of two persons: This phrase expresses the purpose of the water, which is to satisfy the thirst of two individuals.
Identifying the Error
- The error identified in the options is related to the phrase "two persons." In standard English, "persons" is often used in formal contexts, while "people" is the more common and conversational term used to refer to a group of individuals. Therefore, the phrase should be "two people" instead of "two persons."
Conclusion
Since the only issue in the sentence is the use of "persons," which should be "people," the correct answer is indeed option 'E', indicating there is no error in the structure of the sentence itself, but a minor word choice issue exists.
In summary, the sentence is largely correct, with the only suggested improvement being the replacement of "persons" with "people."

Understanding the Error in the Sentence
The sentence presented has a grammatical error that needs correction for clarity and accuracy.
Identifying the Error
- The phrase "unless they study themself" contains the main issue. The word "themself" is incorrectly used when referring to a group of students.
Correct Usage of Pronouns
- The correct pronoun to use in this context should be "themselves." "Themself" is singular and gender-neutral, primarily used for individuals who prefer such a form. However, here it is referring to multiple students.
Revised Sentence
- The corrected sentence should read: “Even if the teacher has completed the course, the students cannot pass unless they study themselves.”
Summary of the Error
- In summary, the error lies in the misuse of the pronoun "themself" instead of "themselves." This small adjustment clarifies that the students, being plural, should use the plural reflexive pronoun.
Importance of Pronoun Agreement
- Ensuring that pronouns agree in number and gender with the nouns they refer to is crucial for grammatical accuracy. This error highlights the need for attention to detail in written communication, especially in formal settings like banking exams.
Conclusion
- In conclusion, recognizing and correcting such errors is essential for achieving clarity and professionalism in language use, particularly in examination contexts.
