Question
Read the given sentence to find out whether
there are any grammatical/ contextual errors in them. The errors, if any, will be in two of the parts of the sentences and the combination of those parts will be the answer to that question. If no part in the sentence has an error then, mark 'No error' as your answer. Consider part (E) in bold as grammatically correct. (Ignore punctuation errors if any) Â Â In parts of the country, (A) / including the southern region, (B) / floods triggered by heavily rains (C) / have displaced thousand of (D) /people in recent months. (E)Solution
Solution The errors are in parts C and D. In C, replace the adverb HEAVILY with the adjective HEAVY to modify the noun RAINS, and in part D, replace THOUSAND with THOUSANDS as we use the plural form of the word THOUSANDS when no definite number precedes it. Thus, D is the right answer.
