Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence may have some 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."
Professor Lal teaches both history as well as literature each semester.
(1) Professor Lal teaches
(2) each semester.
(3) both history as well as literature
(4) No Error
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
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".
