Correct Answer: (3)


Solution : The error lies in the third option, "both history as well as literature".

The use of " both " and " as well as " in the sentence makes it incorrect. The phrase should be simplified to "both history and literature" as "both" is followed by "and" as they both are correlative conjunctions.

Therefore, the correct sentence is "Professor Lal teaches both history and literature each semester".
