  • 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 was in a hurry
  • B. because he had an appointment
  • C. with the company's director.
  • D. No error.

  • Correct Answer
  • No error. 

    Explanation

    The sentence reads: "He was in a hurry because he had an appointment with the company's director." Let's break it down to identify any grammatical error:

    1. Option A - He was in a hurry:
      • This part is grammatically correct. "He was in a hurry" is a clear and properly structured sentence with correct subject-verb agreement.
    2. Option B - because he had an appointment:
      • This part is also grammatically correct. The conjunction "because" introduces the reason, and "he had an appointment" is well-constructed with proper past tense usage.
    3. Option C - with the company's director:
      • This part is correct as well. The prepositional phrase "with the company's director" properly indicates who the appointment was with. The possessive form "company's" is used correctly.
    4. Option D - No error:
      • There are no grammatical errors in the sentence. All parts are correct and logically structured.
    5. Final Answer:
      • The sentence is free of errors, so the correct answer is D. No error.
