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."
The secretariat (1) / comprises of (2) / many air-conditioned rooms. (3) / No Error (4)
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence. "comprises of".
The correct verb is "comprises", and it does not need the preposition "of" following it. The verb "comprise" means "to consist of" or "to be made up of".
When using "comprise", it should be followed by the components that make up the whole, but it should not be followed by the preposition "of".
The correct sentence is: "The secretariat comprises many air-conditioned rooms".
