New: SSC Stenographer Application Form 2024 Released
Don't Miss: Month-wise current affairs
Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: Through the death
Solution : The error lies in the fourth option.
The error lies in the use of the preposition "through" to introduce the event. In standard English, it is more common and grammatically correct to use a preposition like " upon " or " following " to indicate the event that leads to the inheritance. Through is typically used to indicate a process, means, or method by which something is achieved or accomplished.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: Upon the death of his father, he inherited a lot of money and property.
