Question : Direction: In the following question, some parts of the sentence may have some errors. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If the sentence is free from error, select "No error".
Yesterday (1) / it rained (2) / like cats and dogs. (3) / No error (4)
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.
The idiom cats and dogs is a Greek expression that means it is raining very heavily. In this context, it means it rained unbelievably hard. It is used generally when it rains unusually, and like is not part of the idiom. Thus, it should be omitted to make the sentence grammatically correct.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: Yesterday it rained cats and dogs .
