Question

In the following sentences, one word or a phrase is used wrongly. Choose the word that must be changed or modified or deleted to make the sentence correct. There are sentences without any errors too.
The committee came to a decision to discuss in detail about assorted problems that people have been facing for a long time.

• A. came to
• B. to discuss
• C. about
• D. a long time

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The sentence provided is, "The committee came to a decision to discuss in detail about assorted problems that people have been facing for a long time." The word "about" is used incorrectly here. When the word "discuss" is used as a verb, it is not followed by "about." Instead, it should be directly followed by the topic of discussion. Thus, the corrected sentence is: "The committee came to a decision to discuss in detail assorted problems that people have been facing for a long time."
