    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).

    The law also permits you to (A)/wave your right to

    notice or (B)/to accept a payment in lieu of (C)/notice if this is agreed with the company (D).    
    A The law also permits you to Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B wave your right to notice or Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C to accept a payment in lieu of Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D notice if this is agreed with the company Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The word ‘wave’ is not appropriate here. The correct word is ‘waive’, which means ‘to not demand something you have a right to, or not cause a rule to be obeyed’. The law also permits you to waive your right to notice or to accept a payment in lieu of notice if this is agreed with the company.
