A. Harish told Raj to plead guilty.
B. Raj pleaded guilty of stealing money from the shop.
C. The court found Raj guilty of all the crimes he was charged with.
D. He was sentenced for three years in jail.

• A. A and C
• B. B and D
• C. A, C, and D
• D. B, C, and D

Hint:

When referring to legal situations, use “found guilty of” instead of “found guilty for” and phrase advice clearly as “should plead” or “asked to plead.”

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

- Statement A is incorrect because "Harish told Raj to plead guilty" is grammatically awkward; it should be "Harish told Raj that he should plead guilty."
- Statement B is correct as "pleaded guilty of" is a correct form.
- Statement C is incorrect; "found guilty of" should be used, not "found guilty of all the crimes."
- Statement D is correct.
Thus, the incorrect sentences are A and C.
