Question

Correct the error in the underlined part of the sentence-
You are warned against committing the same mistake again.
a) To commit
b) For committing
c) Against to commit
d) No improvement

Answer 1

Hint:You must know the exact meaning of the underlined part of the sentence to correct it. Also, see if it is matching to that of the given tense form of the sentence or not.

Complete answer:
Read the given sentence carefully. The sentence is – You are warned against committing the same mistake again. This sentence has a preposition ‘against’ with the word ‘warned’, which means warning is always issued against something. Now, the preposition ‘against’ requires an object and it is fulfilled by the word ‘committing’. The given sentence is already correct and does not need any changes.
But still, let us examine all the given options to find out the correct answer :
Option ‘a’ is To commit. This cannot be the correct answer because we cannot use ‘to’ between 'warned' and 'commit'. It would be grammatically incorrect.
Option ‘b’ is For committing. This cannot be the correct answer as ‘for’ is a complete opposite of the given word ‘against’. So, we will eliminate this option as well.
Option ‘c’ is Against to commit. We cannot use ‘against’ with ‘to commit'. It will change the meaning of the given sentence, which would be incorrect.
Option ‘d’ is No improvement. As the given sentence is already correct, we do not need any corrections further. So this option is the correct option.
As we have analyzed all the given options, we can easily figure out the correct answer. Here, the correct option would be option ‘d’.

Note:
You must read the given sentence carefully, there are chances that the given sentence is already correct and no other improvements are needed.
