Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentences have errors and some are correct. Find out which part of a sentence has an error. The number of that part is the answer. If a sentence is free from error, your answer is "No error".
We had (1) / hardly reached the (2) / platform than the train came in. (3) / No error (4)
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The correct choice is the third option .
The word "than" is typically used for making comparisons, but in this context, the sentence expresses a sequence of events. First, they reached the platform, and then the train came in. The word "hardly" is followed by "when", as they are correlative conjunctions.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: We had hardly reached the platform when the train came in.
