Question

In the question parts have been underlined. If any rule of correct English is violated then it could be only in the UNDERLINED part, marked as 1, 2, 3 or 4. Choose the option, which violates usage of correct English
Standing/1   on the top of the tower the whole city could be seen/3.

• A. only 1
• B. only 2
• C. 1 and 2
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The sentence presented for analysis is: "Standing on the top of the tower the whole city could be seen." The task is to identify any violations in English usage in the underlined portions.

1. Standing 

2. of the tower

3. could be seen

Analysis:

The phrase "Standing on the top of the tower, the whole city could be seen" is an example of a dangling modifier. The sentence begins with a participial phrase "Standing on the top of the tower" which is supposed to describe the subject performing the action. However, the subject that follows is "the whole city," which cannot logically perform the action of standing. This error is not indicated as incorrect in the options; therefore, the sentence does not contain a rule violation in the marked segments.

Conclusion: The correct choice based on the analysis and given options is "None of the above," as the underlined parts themselves are not the source of any error in English usage as per the options provided.
