Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence may have errors. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If the sentence is free from error, select "No Error".
Our professor taught us that (1) / one should respect the (2) / religions of others as much as his own. (3) / No Error (4)
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 3
Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.
The error is in the use of pronouns. One should be replaced with one's.
- One is a pronoun that is often used in a general or impersonal sense. It can refer to an unspecified person or people. In this context, it's used to refer to anyone or everyone.
- "One's" is the possessive form of "one". In this sentence, it indicates possession or ownership. So, "one's own" means "their own" or "his/her own" in a more general sense.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Our professor taught us that one should respect the religion of others as much as one's own."
