  • 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. 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.
