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. "
