  • Question
  • Read each sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical error in it. The error, if any will be in one part of the sentence. The letter of that part is the answer. If there is no error, the answer is 'D'. (Ignore the errors of punctuation, if any). (solve as per the direction given)


  • Options
  • A. He loved
  • B. none but
  • C. his neighbour's daughter.
  • D. No error.

  • Correct Answer
  • No error. 

    Explanation

    The sentence reads: "He loved none but his neighbour's daughter." Let's break it down to identify any grammatical error:

    1. Option A - He loved:
      • This part is grammatically correct. The subject "He" and the verb "loved" are properly used in the past tense.
    2. Option B - none but:
      • The phrase "none but" is grammatically correct and commonly used to mean "only" or "nothing but." It works fine in this context.
    3. Option C - his neighbour's daughter:
      • This part is also grammatically correct. It correctly refers to the daughter belonging to the neighbour, using the possessive form "neighbour's."
    4. Option D - No error:
      • There are no grammatical errors in the sentence. All parts are correctly structured.
    5. Final Answer:
      • The sentence is free of errors, so the correct answer is D. No error.
