Question : The following sentence has been divided into parts. One of them may contain an error.
Select the part that contains the error from the given options. If you don’t find any error, mark ‘No error’ as your answer.
He has always been / quite careless for / his own safety.
Option 1: quite careless for
Option 2: He has always been
Option 3: No error
Option 4: his own safety
Correct Answer: quite careless for
Solution : The first option is correct.
Explanation: The error in this sentence lies in the preposition used after the adjective careless . When expressing negligence or lack of concern, the appropriate preposition is about rather than for . The preposition about is commonly used after adjectives like careless to indicate the specific aspect or area where the lack of concern is directed.
So, the correct sentence would be: "He has always been quite careless about his own safety."
