If the sentence is free from error, click the 'No error' option. Everyone applauded a (A) judge for handling (B) the trial judiciously. (C) / No error (D) Correct Answer A
The error is in the first part of the sentence. Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
The sentence is incorrect because the wrong article is used in it. Articles are determiners used before nouns. There are two types of articles, definite and indefinite.
Indefinite articles mean that the mentioned noun is a part of something or a group and it is unspecified, eg- ‘I saw a man in the street today’, that means it can be any man.
Definite articles, on the other hand, specify something or someone eg, ‘I saw the man you told me about’; here it’s not just any man but a particular man.
In the same manner, the correct article to be used is ‘the’ because the sentence is about a particular judge who is judicious.
Correct sentence:
Everyone applauded the judge for handling the trial judiciously.
