In this English grammar error-spotting question, identify which part of the sentence contains the incorrect prepositional phrase: "Candidates present in the examination hall (A) should make use (B) with such opportunities. (C) No Error. (D)". Choose the option that marks the erroneous segment or select 'No Error' if the sentence is fully correct.

Introduction / Context:
This question checks your understanding of fixed expressions and correct preposition usage in English. The sentence describes candidates in an examination hall and advises them to take advantage of opportunities. The key phrase "make use" requires a specific preposition to form a correct idiomatic expression. You must find which part of the sentence violates standard usage.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Sentence: "Candidates present in the examination hall should make use with such opportunities."
• Part A: "Candidates present in the examination hall"
• Part B: "should make use"
• Part C: "with such opportunities."
• Part D: means "No Error".
• The sentence intends to convey the idea of "taking advantage of" opportunities that are available.

Concept / Approach:
In English, "make use" is a fixed collocation that is normally followed by the preposition "of", not "with". The expression "make use of something" means "to utilise something" or "to take advantage of something." Prepositions cannot usually be swapped freely in idiomatic phrases without causing grammatical or usage errors. Therefore, we expect "make use of such opportunities", not "make use with such opportunities".

Step-by-Step Solution:
Step 1: Examine Part A: "Candidates present in the examination hall". This is a correctly formed noun phrase with a participial phrase modifying "Candidates". Step 2: Examine Part B: "should make use". The modal "should" is correctly followed by the base form "make", and "make use" is the beginning of a standard collocation. Step 3: Examine Part C: "with such opportunities." The preposition "with" is incorrectly attached to "make use". The correct preposition is "of": "make use of such opportunities." Step 4: Combine the corrected parts: "Candidates present in the examination hall should make use of such opportunities." Step 5: Since only the prepositional phrase in Part C is wrong, Part C is the segment that contains the error.

Verification / Alternative check:
Consider similar sentences: "You must make use of all the resources available" and "Students should make use of the library facilities." In each case, "of" follows "make use". Substituting "with" would produce unidiomatic sentences. Applying the same rule here confirms that the sentence should read "make use of such opportunities", not "make use with such opportunities".

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

• Part A: Grammatically correct; it clearly states which candidates are being referred to.
• Part B: Correct use of the modal "should" with the phrase "make use"; the error lies not in the verb phrase but in the following preposition.
• Part D (No Error): Cannot be chosen because we have identified a definite prepositional error in Part C.
• Error in more than one part: Not valid because only the choice of "with" is wrong; everything else is acceptable.

Common Pitfalls:
A common mistake in English learning is to treat prepositions as interchangeable or to translate them directly from one's mother tongue. However, idiomatic expressions such as "make use of", "take care of", "look forward to", and "rely on" have fixed prepositions that must be learned as whole units. Confusing them leads to unnatural sentences. Regular reading and practice with collocations are crucial to mastering such expressions for competitive exams.

Final Answer:
The incorrect segment is Part C: "with such opportunities."; it should be "of such opportunities".
