When I shall see him, | |
I will tell him that | |
what he has done is wrong. | |

their reasons | |
to say it. | |
No error |
Question 3 Explanation:
The correct form of tense to be used here instead of ‘ to say it’ is 'for saying it’. Therefore, third part needs to be amended.

Identify the error in the sentence given below.
Never I asked | |
my Englishman | |
how much he earned. | |
No error |
Question 4 Explanation:
‘Never I asked’ which is used in the first part of the sentence is not a legible form of tense. The forms that could have been used here are 'l never asked' or 'Never did I ask'.

Identify the error in the sentence given below.
He walked five-miles which are really a great distance | |
for a man like him | |
who is not only old but also ill. | |

Question 5 Explanation:
The problem is in the third part of the sentence. The author is talking about distance, which is regarded as singular; therefore we will use ‘is’ instead of ‘are’ in the third part of the sentence.
