New: SSC Stenographer Application Form 2024 Released
Don't Miss: Month-wise current affairs
Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: when I
Solution : The grammatical error is in the first option.
Explanation : The correct form should be where I instead of when I. The sentence intends to convey the state of the house at the time of the speaker's birth, which is a location-based reference, not a temporal one. In this corrected sentence, the relative pronoun where is used to indicate the location of the house in relation to the speaker's birth. This change ensures clarity and consistency in expressing the intended meaning.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: The house where I was born is in ruins.
