Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence have errors, and some are correct. Find out which part of the sentence has an error. The number of that part is the answer. If a sentence is error-free, your answer is "No Error".
They are looking forward (1) / to meet (2) / their parents. (3) / No Error (4)
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 2
Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.
The phrasal verb "look forward to" is followed by a gerund, which is a verb form ending in (-ing). Gerunds are used as nouns. In this sentence, the gerund "meeting" is the object of the phrasal verb "look forward to".
The correct sentence should be: "They are looking forward to meeting their parents."
