Find out which part of the sentence has an error and click the button corresponding to it. If the sentence is free from error, click the “No error” option.

• A. I am certain that
• B. The officer is not only
• C. greedy but corrupt
• D. No error

Hint:

Always remember the correct pairing of correlative conjunctions: [ textbfnot only … but also ] Omission of any part makes the sentence grammatically incorrect.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Identify the grammatical construction used. The sentence uses the correlative conjunction “not only … but also”. Step 2: Check whether the construction is complete. In the given sentence, the word “also” is missing after “but”. Correct form should be: \[ \text{The officer is not only greedy but also corrupt.} \] Step 3: Locate the part containing the error. The error lies in part (C) because it should read “greedy but also corrupt”. Step 4: Final conclusion. Hence, the incorrect part of the sentence is (C).
