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. When she met her estranged mother (P) / after a long time, she uncovered a (Q) / startling clue of her past. (R) / No error (S) Correct Answer R

The error lies in part R of the question. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3.

Here, the correct preposition to be used after clue is ‘to’ and not ‘of’.

Clue means a piece of information that helps us to solve a mystery. Estranged means no longer close to someone. The given sentence tells us that she met her mother after a long time and she discovered some information related to her past.

Correct sentence - When she met her estranged mother after a long time, she uncovered a startling clue to her past.

Note- the right use of preposition is learnt from (and not with) experience. 

A lot of practice will help the candidate to understand the general yet intricate principles of the English language.
