Question : Directions: In the following question, the given sentence has four parts marked P, Q, R, and S. Choose the part of the sentence with the error and select it as your answer. If there is no error, select "No Error (S)" as your answer.
(P) The old man (Q) told his sons (R) that there was no such thing like luck. (S) No Error
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 3
Solution : The error is in part (R) marked by the third option.
Explanation:
In this sentence, "such as" is used instead of "like" to convey the idea that luck is an example or type of thing, rather than a similarity. Such as is used for giving examples whereas like is used for exhibiting similarity.
So, the correct sentence would be: "The old man told his sons that there was no such thing as luck."
