Question

Find out which part of the sentence has an error and choose that part as your answer out of (1), (2), and (3). If the sentence is free from any error, then choose your answer as choice (4). He seldom or ever goes to meet his parents.

• A. He seldom or ever
• B. Goes to meet
• C. His parents
• D. No error

Hint:

Use "seldom ever" or simply "seldom" to express rarity, but avoid the redundancy of "or ever."

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Identify the error in the sentence.
The phrase "seldom or ever" is incorrect. The correct phrase is "seldom ever" or "rarely ever".
"Seldom" already implies rarity, so adding "or ever" is redundant and awkward.
Step 2: Hence, the error is in part (1), and the correct answer is (1) He seldom or ever.
