Question
It is the largest military cantonment (A)/ in all of
Bengal, (B)/ with accommodation for (C)/ two batteries of artillery, (D)/ a European and a Nativity infantry regiment. (E) In the question below, a sentence is given, divided into five parts (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E). One of the parts is grammatically incorrect or has an error in it. You are required to identify the parts that are grammatically correct and choose the option accordingly.Solution
As the error lies in part E. Replace NATIVITY with NATIVE. We need an adjective to modify the noun INFANTRY It should convey the required meaning - along with a European infantry regiment, a local infantry regiment was also accommodated in the cantonment. NATIVITY, which refers to the event of Christ's birth, makes no sense in the context. NATIVE means a person who is associated with a place by birth, or something that is local to a place. Here, the second meaning is applicable.
