Question : In the following question, some parts of the sentence have errors and some are correct. Find out which part of a sentence has an error. The number of that part is the answer. If a sentence is free from error, your answer is "No Error".
His father would (1) / rather die than (2) / to beg from door to door. (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.
Explanation : An appropriate verb form should be used after the expression "would rather". The correct construction is "would rather" followed by the base form of the verb. Therefore, the infinitive "to beg" should be replaced with the base form "beg" after "would rather".
So, the correct sentence should be: "His father would rather die than beg from door to door."
