Question

Mr Rao has been (A)/ relieved from his duties (B)/ and is expected to be here by tomorrow. (C)/ No error (D) Which part of the sentence above has an error, if any?

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D

Hint:

Pay close attention to prepositions after verbs — certain verbs are always followed by specific prepositions (like "relieved of" not "relieved from").

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding the usage: The phrase "relieved from his duties" is grammatically incorrect. The correct phrase should be "relieved of his duties."

Step 2: Analyzing each part:
(A) "Mr Rao has been" --- correct.
(B) "relieved from his duties" --- incorrect; should be "relieved of his duties."
"and is expected to be here by tomorrow." --- correct.

Thus, the error is in part B.
