      Question

      Given below is a sentence with an error. The error is in

      one part of the sentence. Below the sentence are given the options containing the parts of the sentence. Choose the option which contains the error. The new intern was not only /hardworking but also/ enthusiastic and/ willingness to learn quickly.
      A The new intern was not only Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B hardworking but also Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C enthusiastic and Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D willingness to learn quickly. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The sentence uses "not only... but also...", which requires parallel grammatical forms.
      "hardworking" (adjective)
      "enthusiastic" (adjective)
      So the third item must also be an adjective or adjective phrase, not a noun like "willingness".
      The correct adjective form is "willing", not "willingness".
      Hence, Option 4 contains the error.
