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."
The decapitated body of a young girl was discovered yesterday.
(1) No Error
(2) The decapitated body
(3) of a young girl
(4) was discovered yesterday.
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (4)
Solution : The error lies in the fourth option.
The sentence can be improved by using the word "found" in place of "discovered." Discovered is used when we find information or some object for the first time, whereas "found" is used when we find something that is being searched for. In this case,found is used for the body of a young girl.
Therefore, the correct sentence is, "The decapitated body of a young girl was found yesterday."
