Question : Directions: Read the sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical or idiomatic error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The number of that part is the answer. If there is no error, the answer is (4).
During India's struggle for (1) / freedom, many brilliant students (2) / gave up their studies by Bhagat Singh's call. (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.
Here, there is a prepositional error, the preposition "by" should be replaced with the preposition "on". The preposition "by" is used to refer to the agent of action whereas the prepositional phrase "on the call" specifies that many brilliant students gave up their studies on the basis of Bhagat Singh's call.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "During India's struggle for freedom, many brilliant students gave up their studies on Bhagat Singh's call."
