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. His idea of  (A)/ boycotting the meeting was (B) universally accepted by all. (C)/ No error. (D) Correct Answer C

The error lies in part C of the sentence. Hence, the correct answer is option 3.

Sol: Use of universally is superfluous here. Universally itself means by all. Hence, saying ‘universally accepted by all’ or ‘universally acknowledged by all’ is wrong. For example: ‘It is universally acknowledged that India is a peace-loving nation’.

Thus, the correct sentence is- His idea of boycotting the meeting was accepted by all.
