Question
The officer as well as (A)/ the assistants absented (B)/
themselves from the office (C)/ No Error (D). In these questions some of the sentences have errors and some have none. Find out which part of a sentence has an error and indicate it corresponding to the appropriate letters. If there is no error, indicate corresponding to the last option.Solution
Replace ‘themselves’ by ‘himself’. As the main subject is ‘The officer’ which is a singular noun and by sub-verb agreement rule, nouns/pronouns, connected with ‘with’, ‘along-with’, ‘together with’ ‘as well as’, ‘like’, ‘unlike’, ‘besides’ etc. take the verb after them according to the first noun. Hence option ‘C’ has the error.
