Question

Read each of the components of the given sentence and mark the component with grammatical error.
I. My cousin brother, who lives
II. in Goa, is eager to visit us
III. in Mumbai and aspires to have
IV. a glimpse of the city

• A. Only I
• B. Only II
• C. Only III
• D. Only IV

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The sentence consists of several components, each to be examined for grammatical correctness. Let's break down each part:

I. My cousin brother, who lives
II. in Goa, is eager to visit us
III. in Mumbai and aspires to have
IV. a glimpse of the city

The error lies in Part I. In English, the phrase "cousin brother" is not grammatically correct. The term "cousin" already implies a sibling, so the word "brother" is redundant. The correct usage would simply be "cousin." Therefore, Part I contains the grammatical error. The correct phrase should be "My cousin, who lives."

Hence, the component with a grammatical error is:

Only I
