  • Options
  • A. In an English paper
  • B. examiners should give as much weightage to language
  • C. as they give to contents.
  • D. No error

  • Correct Answer
  • No error 

    Explanation

    The sentence reads: "In an English paper, examiners should give as much weightage to language as they give to contents." Let's break it down to identify any grammatical error:

    1. Option A - In an English paper:
      • This part is grammatically correct. "In an English paper" is a well-structured prepositional phrase that introduces the context of the sentence.
    2. Option B - examiners should give as much weightage to language:
      • This part is correct. "Examiners should give as much weightage to language" is properly constructed, and the verb "give" correctly agrees with the subject "examiners."
    3. Option C - as they give to contents:
      • This part is grammatically incorrect. The word "contents" should be in the singular form: "content." "Contents" typically refers to multiple items or sections, while "content" is the correct term when referring to the material or substance of something in a general sense.
    4. Option D - No error:
      • There is an error in Option C, as explained above, so this option is not correct.
    5. Final Answer:
      • The error is in Option C. The correct answer is C.
