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 is (1)/ capable to do this work (2)/ within the stipulated period. (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 correct construction following the word "capable" uses the preposition "of" rather than "to". A gerund is a verb form ending in "-ing" that functions as a noun in a sentence. It serves as the object of the preposition "of" and functions as a noun. So, the correct structure is "capable of doing this work."
The correct sentence would be: "He is capable of doing this work within the stipulated period."
