• A. If he w ould have taken rest/
• B. as advised by the doctor,/
• C. he m ight not have/
• D. had a second heart attack.
• E. No error

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

In this question, we need to identify the part of the sentence that contains an error. Let's examine each part of the sentence:

1. If he w ould have taken rest/
   This part contains an error. In conditional sentences that describe hypothetical situations in the past, we use the structure "If + past perfect, would have + past participle." The correct phrase here should be, "If he had taken rest."
2. as advised by the doctor,/
   This part is grammatically correct. It properly suggests that the person was advised by the doctor.
3. he m ight not have/
   This part is correct. The use of "might not have" correctly complements the conditional statement structure in hypothetical situations.
4. had a second heart attack.
   This part is also correct. It completes the conditional sentence by indicating the possible outcome.

Therefore, the error is in the part: "If he w ould have taken rest/." The correct sentence should read:

If he had taken rest, as advised by the doctor, he might not have had a second heart attack.

Therefore, the part containing the error is option (a): "If he w ould have taken rest/."
