      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.
      A The officer as well as Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B the assistants absented Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C themselves from the office Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D No Error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      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.
