In the following question, some part of the sentence may have errors. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If a sentence is free from error, select ‘No Error’. Progress in life depends (1)/ a good deal under crossing (2)/ one threshold after another. (3)/ No error (4) Correct Answer 2

The correct option is Option 2 i.e. Part 2

The sentence talks about progress in life and how it can take place by crossing one threshold after another. In Part 2, the word ‘under’ has been wrongly used since it means to be at the bottom of something and does not fit with the word ‘depend’ which is generally followed by the preposition on and hence the correct word should be ‘on’, which fits the syntax of the sentence.

The correct sentence is:

Progress in life depends a good deal on crossing one threshold after another.
