      Question

      In the following question, a sentence is given, divided

      into four parts (A), (B), (C) and (D). The error, if any, will only be in TWO PHRASES/PARTS of the sentence. The combination of those parts is the answer. If no part in the sentence has an error, then mark 'No error' as your answer. Ignore errors of punctuations, if any. Just than his eye fell upon the lanterns (A)/ and the can of kerosene oil which Frederick (B)/ had brought from the back of his car, and he (C)/ got a clever idea from them commonplace things (D).
      A AB Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B AD Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C CD Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D BC Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The errors are in (A) & (D). In part (A), the use of preposition 'than' is incorrect; 'than' is used for introducing the second element in a comparison. The adverb 'then' (after that; next; afterwards) should be used here instead. In part (D), the use of 'them' is incorrect. 'Them' is an object pronoun; the demonstrative pronoun 'those' should be used here. Hence, option (b) is the correct answer.
