English grammar error-spotting (verb + preposition pattern with ‘‘adapt’’): Read the sentence split into four labeled parts (A–D) and identify the single part that contains a grammatical or idiomatic error; choose ‘‘No error’’ only if the entire sentence is correct. Focus on the collocation ‘‘adapt (oneself) to’’ and adverb placement: ‘‘Wherever they go / Indians easily adapt to / local circumstances. / No error.’

Given data

• A: ‘‘Wherever they go’’
• B: ‘‘Indians easily adapt to’’
• C: ‘‘local circumstances.’’
• D: ‘‘No error.’’

Concept / ApproachStandard exam usage prefers the reflexive construction with ‘‘adapt’’ when the subject adjusts themselves to something: ‘‘adapt oneself to …’’. Also, adverbs like ‘‘easily’’ usually follow the verb or precede the reflexive pronoun for smooth rhythm.

Step-by-step correction reasoningStep 1: Keep the preposition ‘‘to’’ with ‘‘adapt’’ (correct preposition).Step 2: Insert the reflexive object for idiomatic completeness → ‘‘adapt themselves to …’’Step 3: Optional: place ‘‘easily’’ after the verb for better flow → ‘‘adapt themselves easily to …’’ or ‘‘adapt easily to …’’

Corrected version‘‘Wherever they go, Indians easily adapt themselves to local circumstances.’’

Common pitfalls

• Omitting the reflexive after ‘‘adapt’’ in formal test English.
• Misplacing adverbs so the sentence sounds clumsy.
