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).
Rajni is planning to settle (1) / in Mumbai as soon as (2) / she retires in August the next year. (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.
The error is the incorrect usage of the article "the". The sentence discusses a future event, making "next year" an appropriate expression. We can use 'the next year' to denote the upcoming year in a series of years.
For instance, "Mr Shah enjoyed the event so much that he organised it again the next year." In this context, "the next year" refers to the following year in the sequence.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "Rajni is planning to settle in Mumbai as soon as she retires in August next year. "
