Question
All year Daly had imitated that (A)/he was ready to
step down (B)/and last night reports of his resignation (C)/did not come as any surprise (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
Here, the word ‘imitated’ is wrong. It means ‘to behave in a similar way to someone or something else, or to copy the speech or behaviour, etc. of someone or something’. The correct word is ‘intimated’. The verb ‘intimate’ means ‘to make clear what you think or want without saying it directly’. All year Daly had intimated that he was ready to step down and last night reports of his resignation did not come as any surprise.            Â
