Question

A sentence is divided into 3 parts. Choose the incorrect part. If no error in the sentence, choose 'D'
He took out a book
from his bag
and started reading on it

• A. He took out a book
• B. from his bag
• C. and started reading on it
• D. No error

Hint:

Many transitive verbs like "read'', "discuss'', and "watch'' do not take prepositions before their object.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Identify incorrect usage
The phrase "reading on it'' is incorrect. In English, the verb "read'' is not followed by the preposition "on'' in this context.
Step 2: Correction
The correct phrase should be "started reading it'', not "reading on it''.
Conclusion: The error lies in Part C due to incorrect prepositional usage.
