Options- A. Considering about these facts
- B. the principal has offered
- C. him a seat
- D. No error Also asked in: Bank Exams
Correct Answer: Considering about these facts
Explanation:
The error is in first part. ?Considering? is a preposition that relates the facts to the principal and hence does not need to be followed by another preposition ?about?. A preposition like ?considering? should be followed by a pronoun like ?these? in this case. The use of about is unnecessary and shall be omitted. The sentence indicates that the principal offered him a seat only after considering certain facts.

Options- A. His friends feel that
- B. he will be suspended
- C. unless he does not report for duty immediately
- D. No error Also asked in: Bank Exams
Correct Answer: unless he does not report for duty immediately
Explanation:
The error is in third part. By using ?not? after ?unless?, both the negatives cancel each other. So, the correct usage will be ?unless he reports for duty immediately?. Since ?unless? is negative it should be
followed by affirmation, like ?unless he reports for duty?. Incase ?unless? was absent, we could have written ?if he does not report? and expressed the same meaning.
