      Question

      In the following questions, a sentence has been divided

      into four parts. One part may contain an error. Identify the part containing the error. If there is no error, choose option (e) “No error”. The food at that restaurant tastes strangely, / but everyone seems to love it, / so maybe I just have / an unusual palate.
      A The food at that restaurant tastes strangely Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B but everyone seems to love it Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C so maybe I just have Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D an unusual palate Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The error lies in: → “tastes strangely” Linking verbs such as: → taste, smell, feel, look, sound are generally followed by adjectives, not adverbs. Thus: → “strangely” (adverb) is incorrect. Correct form: → “tastes strange” Correct sentence: “The food at that restaurant tastes strange…” The remaining parts are grammatically accurate. Hence, option (a).
