  • This type of question assesses your command of grammar, usage, and sentence structure.

  • Your task is to identify and mark the part with the error, or “No error” if the entire sentence is correct.

MCQ Examples:

  1. The manager appreciate (a), the hard work (b) of his employees (c), and promise (d) a bonus.
    • Error: d (“promises” as the verb is present continuous, requiring “promising”)
  2. Neither (a) him (b) nor (c) I (d) knew the answer.
    • Error: c (“I” should be “me” since “neither” implies two singular nouns)
  3. It was raining (a) heavily (b) when we left (c) the house (d).
    • Error: a (use “was raining heavily” as a single adverbial phrase)
  4. She told (a) me a story (b) which I had never heard before (c).
    • Error: c (add comma after “story”)
  5. The book is written (a) in (b) simple (c) and (d) clear language.
