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 museum tells the story (1)/in India after Independence (2)/through the lives and contributions (3)/of its prime ministers (4).

A 1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D 4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

Here, the preposition ‘in’ is inappropriate. The museum cannot literally tell a story, it portrays. So, using preposition ‘in’ is inappropriate. It should be replaced with ‘of’. The museum tells the story of India after Independence through the lives and contributions of its prime ministers.
