    Question

    In the following questions, a sentence is divided into

    four parts. Choose the part of the sentence which may contain a grammatical error in it. If all the parts of the sentence are Grammatically correct and contextually Meaningful, choose option “no error” as your answer choice. The committee is (a) / not only responsible for (b) / selecting the candidates but (c) / also to monitor their progress. (d)
    A c Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B a Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C d Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D b Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The principle of Parallelism requires that the structures following “not only” and “but also” match. Since “not only” is followed by a gerund/participle phrase (selecting), “but also” must be followed by a similar form. Correction: Part (d) should be “also monitoring their progress.”
