Question

Read the sentence to find out whether there is any error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The letter of that part is the answer. If there is no error, the answer is (D). (Ignore errors of punctuation, if any).

• A. If I was you
• B. I would not attend
• C. the function
• D. No error

Hint:

In hypothetical or unreal conditions, always use textbfwere instead of textbfwas: [ textIf I were you, dots ]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Read the sentence as a whole. \textit{“If I was you, I would not attend the function.”} Step 2: Identify the grammatical rule involved. In conditional sentences expressing an imaginary or unreal situation, the verb “were” is used for all subjects, including I. Step 3: Locate the error. The phrase “If I was you” is incorrect. Correct form: \[ \text{If I were you, I would not attend the function.} \] Step 4: Final conclusion. The error lies in part \(\boxed{\text{(A)}}\).
