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."
It is not good to breed over past failure.
(1) to breed over
(2) It is not good
(3) No Error
(4) past failure.
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The error lies in the first option "to breed over".
The word "breed" means to give birth to or produce offspring. This does not go with the context of the sentence. It should be replaced by the word "brood", which means to think or worry about something for a long time. " To brood over " is the correct usage.
Therefore, the correct sentence is "It is not good to brood over past failures".
