If they paid the required amount tomorrow (A)/ on the Sriperumbudur memorial near Chennai, (B)/ which has a lush green (C)/ outfield and a lot of trees, (D)/ the leaders will go to Kanyakumari. (E)

    C The given sentence is correct. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D The most important portion of the debris fell; E has an error. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E If the party secretary had arrived; B has an error. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Part B contains a prepositional error. We use the preposition 'at' when we refer to an address or a specific location. So, 'on' should be replaced with 'at' to rectify the given sentence. So, options (b), (c) and (d) are eliminated.
