In the following question, one part of the sentence may have an error. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and click the option corresponding to it. If the sentence is free from error, click the no error option. My job entailed being call on for (A)/shipping in the harbour and for this reason I was (B)/ loath to live outside Nhava Sheva. (C)/ No error. (D) Correct Answer A
The error lies in part A of the sentence. Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
The error lies in part A of the sentence because in part A ‘on call’ should be used instead of ‘call on’.
'Call on' means 'to pay a visit to (someone)'.
‘On call’ means ‘ If someone is on call, he is ready to go to work at any time if he is needed, especially if there is an emergency’.
Thus, the correct sentence is-
My job entailed being on call for shipping in the harbour and for this reason I was loath to live outside Nhava Sheva.
