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".
He had no (1) / accuse for attacking (2) / that old man. (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 use of the word accuse, which means "to charge someone with an offence or crime", is not appropriate in this context.
Accuse should be replaced with the word excuse, which means a reason, either true or invented, that one gives to explain or defend one’s behaviour.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "He had no excuse for attacking that old man".
