Question

The following question has a sentence with three parts marked as (a), (b), (c). Read each sentence part to determine whether there is any error in any part and indicate your response against the corresponding letter, i.e., (a) or (b) or (c). If you find no error, your response should be indicated as (d).
a: The problem of discipline is really quite complex,
b: because most of we think that through some form of discipline
c: we shall eventually have freedom.

• A. a
• B. b
• C. c
• D. d

Hint:

When a pronoun follows a preposition (like 'of', 'for', 'to', 'with', 'between'), it must be in the objective case (me, us, you, him, her, it, them). For example, "between you and me," not "between you and I."

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding the Task
The task is to identify the part of the sentence that contains a grammatical error.

Step 2: Analyzing Each Part


Part (a): "The problem of discipline is really quite complex," - This part is grammatically correct.

Part (b): "because most of we think that through some form of discipline" - This part contains an error. The pronoun "we" is in the subjective case, but after the preposition "of," the objective case pronoun "us" should be used. The correct phrasing is "most of us".

Part (c): "we shall eventually have freedom." - This part is grammatically correct.


Step 3: Identifying the Error
The error is in part (b). "Most of we" should be corrected to "most of us".

Step 4: Final Answer
The error lies in part (b). Therefore, option (B) is the correct answer.
