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 hockey match (1) / between India and Pakistan (2) / was much exciting. (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 reason for the error is that "much" should be replaced with "very" to convey the degree of excitement appropriately. "Much" is generally used with uncountable nouns, while "very" is used to modify adjectives like "exciting" to indicate a high degree.
Therefore, the correct sentence is, "The hockey match between India and Pakistan was very exciting."
