Choose the part containing an error; if the sentence is correct, pick ‘‘No error.’’ Sentence: We admired the way he had completed all his work and appreciating the method adopted by him.

Introduction / Context:This tests parallel structure in coordinated verb phrases.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• First coordinated part uses a finite clause after ‘‘admired the way…’’
• Second coordinated part should match the verb form/structure.

Concept / Approach:When two actions are coordinated with ‘‘and,’’ maintain parallel form. Here, ‘‘admired the way he had completed…’’ should pair with ‘‘and appreciated the method adopted by him,’’ not the non-parallel participle ‘‘appreciating.’’

Step-by-Step Solution:Identify forms: ‘‘admired’’ (finite past) + ‘‘appreciating’’ (present participle) → mismatch.Make parallel: ‘‘admired… and appreciated…’’Correct version: ‘‘We admired the way he had completed all his work and appreciated the method adopted by him.’’

Verification / Alternative check:Read aloud test: switching to another finite verb makes the coordination smooth and balanced.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

• A, B, D: Grammatically and semantically fine.

Common Pitfalls:Mixing finite verbs with participial phrases in tight coordination.

Final Answer:and appreciating the method
