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 was conferred to his bed with illness.
(1) with illness.
(2) to his bed
(3) No Error
(4) He was conferred
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (4)
Solution : The error is in the fourth option : He was conferred.
The word "conferred" means " to give someone a degree, award, or honor". It does not convey the meaning of " to keep someone in a place". It should be replaced by the word "confined", which means " to limit someone to a place", and thus make the sentence meaningful.
The correct sentence should be " He was confined to his bed with illness. "
