Question

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).

If that ruler is (A)/truly virtual, wise and far-seeing, (B)/then that nation is (C)/truly a happy land (D).

A If that ruler is Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B truly virtual, wise and far-seeing Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C then that nation is Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D truly a happy land Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

The word ‘virtual’ is incorrect here. It means ‘almost, but not exactly or in every way’. The correct word is ‘virtuous’, which means ‘having good moral qualities and behaviour’. If that ruler is truly virtuous , wise and far-seeing, then that nation is truly a happy land.
