Question

Find the incorrect usage of the word “CALL”.

• A. She payed him a call from the pay phone near her home
• B. I will call on you tomorrow evening at 7 pm
• C. Vikram decided to call a meeting to discuss the trade fair
• D. She felt the call of religion early in her life

Hint:

Watch out for idioms — some are misapplied due to confusion with literal meanings.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

"Pay someone a call" is an idiom, but it means to visit someone, not to make a phone call.
So Option (A) misuses the idiom. She “made a call” from the phone, but did not “pay him a call” (which implies physical visit).
All other usages are valid: - (B): "call on" = visit someone
- (C): "call a meeting" = summon/arrange
- (D): "felt the call" = inner urge or vocation \[ \boxed{\text{(A)}} \]
