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".
Read not to contradict nor to believe but to weigh and consider.
(1) but to weigh and consider.
(2) No Error
(3) Nor to believe
(4) Read not to contradict
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The error lies in the third option.
The conjunction "nor" should be replaced with "or". "To contradict" and "to believe" are both alternatives, and they are better linked with "or", which makes the sentence grammatically accurate and conveys the intended meaning that we should read not to contradict or believe but to weigh and consider.
Therefore, the correct sentence is, "Read not to believe or contradict but to weigh and consider".
