(B)/interring their victims, were now (C)/called at to bury their own dead (D). Read each sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical/contextual 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 phrasal verb ‘call at’ means ‘Stop somewhere briefly’. This is incorrect here. The correct phrasal verb is ‘call on’, which means ‘to ask someone to do something’. The soldiers, who had so lately been employed in interring their victims, were now called on to bury their own dead.
