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 lovers walked (1) / besides each other (2) / in silence. (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.
Explanation : The word "besides" means "in addition to" or "apart from", and in this context, it does not convey the intended meaning of the lovers walking next to each other. "Beside" is the correct word to use here, meaning "next to" or "alongside".
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The lovers walked beside each other in silence."
