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".
The fact of me (1) / being a stranger (2) / does not excuse his conduct. (3) / No error (4)
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The error lies in the first part of the sentence.
The error in the first part is that "me" should be replaced with "my". When one wants to show possession, the possessive pronoun my should be used instead of the objective pronoun me. So, it should be my being a stranger to indicate that the fact relates to the speaker.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: The fact of my being a stranger does not excuse his conduct.
