Question
The plaintiffs sought an (A)/injunction requiring the
defendants (B)/to abet the nuisance (C)/as well as damages (D). Read each sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. Mark the part with the error as your answer. If there is no error, mark ‘No error’ as your answer (Ignore the errors of punctuation, if any).Solution
The word ‘abet’ here means ‘to help or encourage someone to do something wrong or illegal’. It is inappropriate. The correct word is ‘abate’, which means ‘to become less strong’. The plaintiffs sought an injunction requiring the defendants to abate the nuisance as well as damages.  Â
