Question

The following phrases make a complete sentence. Find out if there is an error in any part. If there is no error, your answer is ‘E’.
A) There are certain animals
B) That can live without
C) Any effort both
D) In water and land
E) No error

Answer 1

Hint:Always read the entire options carefully, check the verb and pronouns as they are most likely to have an error, always examine each choice individually. Errors could be wrong spelling, wrong formation of the sentence or wrong tense.

Complete answer:
Option A) There are certain animals – is an incorrect answer because ‘there are certain animals’ is the correct part of the sentence. Here, it explains or tells that there is more than one animal so ‘are’ is used. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option B) That can live without – is an incorrect answer because ‘that can live without’ is ‘To survive or get by without something to which one is accustomed or feels dependent upon’. So, this is an incorrect answer because this part does not contain any error.
Option C) Any effort both – is an incorrect answer because this part also does not contain any error. So, this is again an incorrect answer.
Option D) In water and land – is the correct answer because ‘in water and land’ have errors. Instead of ‘in water and land’ it should be ‘in water and in land’. So, this option consists of errors and this is the correct answer.
Option E) No error – is an incorrect option because this is a null or void option as the correct answer lies in option D.

The right answer to this is option (D).

Note: For answering such questions, it is very important to have knowledge and understanding of the nouns, pronouns, spellings, verbs, adverbs etc. It is also very important to analyze each option carefully and then find the error in the sentence. However, Option D is the most appropriate answer because this is the only option that has an error and other options are incorrect as other options do not contain any error.
