Question
In each of the questions, a sentence is divided into
five parts A, B, C, D and E in which two of the parts have some grammatical errors in them. You have to identify which pair among the given alternatives represents the parts that contain those errors. If none of the parts have any error, then mark option 5, i.e., ‘No error’ as your answer. He is, as any would expect for (A)/someone who has been close to different(B)/ leaders, clued up on (C)the importance of good chemistry(D) between leader and strategy.(E)Solution
The phrase "as any would expect for" is grammatically incorrect. "Any" is a determiner and cannot stand alone as the subject of a clause in this context. The correct indefinite pronoun is "anyone". The phrase should be "as anyone would expect". The use of "for" after "expect" is also awkward and can be removed for better flow, but the main error is the use of "any". The sentence discusses the importance of "good chemistry" between a leader and a strategist. "Strategist" is a person, a role that complements a leader, and it fits the parallelism of "leader." "Strategy" is a plan or method, which is an abstract concept.
