Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: No error.
Explanation:
Given sentence parts (A–D)A. He is not to blameB. for what has happenedC. for he is in no way connected with it.D. No error.
Concept/Approach (idiomatic expression and conjunction 'for')The idiom 'to be to blame (for …)' is standard: 'He is not to blame for …' The second 'for' introduces a reason (meaning 'because'), which is also correct in formal style. Hence, no grammatical error is present.
VerificationAlternative phrasing: 'He is not to blame for what has happened, because he is in no way connected with it.' Both versions are acceptable.
Common pitfallsAssuming 'to be blamed' is required; both 'to blame' (adjectival complement) and 'to be blamed' (passive) occur, but 'to blame' is idiomatic and concise.
Final AnswerD — No error.
