Question

Following question below consists of statements having four phrases (a), (b), (c) and (d). One of the phrases is grammatically incorrect. Identify the incorrect phrase
(a) To live, to love
(b) to serve, and
(c) also admiration are what
(d) I aspire for

• A. a
• B. b
• C. c
• D. d

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1 — Read the sentence with all parts:
(a) To live, to love
(b) to serve, and
(c) also admiration are what
(d) I aspire for

Step 2 — Connect the sentence:
"To live, to love, to serve, and also admiration are what I aspire for."
This sounds ungrammatical because part (c) introduces inconsistency in the list.

Step 3 — Spot the error:
- Parts (a) and (b) maintain parallel structure using infinitives: "to live," "to love," "to serve."
- Part (c) breaks the pattern by using "also admiration" instead of "to admire."
- For grammatical parallelism, it should be "to admire" (another infinitive), not "also admiration" (a noun).

Step 4 — Correct sentence:
"To live, to love, to serve, and to admire are what I aspire for."

Step 5 — Conclusion:
Therefore, the grammatically incorrect phrase is in part (c).

Final Answer:
The correct option is (C) : c.
