Question :
In these questions some of the sentences have errors and some have none. Find out which part of a sentence has an error and indicate it corresponding to the appropriate option. If there is no error, indicate corresponding to the last option.
During the interrogation (1)/ the officer learnt that not only (2)/ the office was looted but also the things taken away. (3)/ No error (4)
Option 1: During the interrogation
Option 2: the officer learnt that not only
Option 3: the office was looted but also the things taken away.
Option 4: No Error
Correct Answer: the office was looted but also the things taken away.
Solution : There is an error in the option 3.
Put "were" before "taken away" because in this sentence "the objects" is the plural form of the subject.
"Things" is plural therefore were is used.
Hence the correct sentence is
During the interrogation the officer learnt that not only the office was looted but also the things were taken away.
