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).
Not only we saw (1) / the President of our country but also (2) / the Chief Minister of Delhi. (3) / No Error (4)
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 1
Solution : The error lies in the first part of the sentence.
The phrase not only... but also is a correlative conjunction that should follow the format "not only X but also Y", where X and Y should exhibit parallel structure.
Consequently, the two elements lack grammatical parallelism. By positioning the subjects' actions at the beginning, we can convey both pieces of information without the need for repetition.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "We saw not only the President of our country but also the Chief Minister of Delhi."
