    In the following question, a sentence is given, divided

    into 5 parts. Part (E) is grammatically correct. Out of the other four parts, only one part is without error. Mark the option containing the part with no error. If none of the parts have errors, mark 'No error' as your answer. If all the parts have errors, marks 'All have errors' as your answer.

(E)
    A No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B B Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E A Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    A- No error. B-replace DOUBTS AFTER DOUBTS with DOUBT AFTER DOUBT. The singular form of DOUBT is grammatically correct; the plural DOUBTS is not followed by words such as AFTER. C - replaced IN with AT. It is an error of preposition. D-replace WHILE with BECAUSE or a synonym of because. WHILE indicates a contradiction between two parts of a sentence, which is not the case here. Here, we need a conjunction to show a cause and effect relationship between the two parts - he interrupted the boss' son's presentation because no one else pointed out the flaws. Thus, words such as because, or its synonyms, are contextually correct. (e) is the right answer.
