In the following questions, 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. Esha lost the college election(P)/ even if she worked(Q)/ really hard for the campaign(R)/ No error (S).?

Option 2 : Q

The error lies in part Q of the question. Therefore the correct answer is option 2.

The phrase 'even if' means despite the possibility of something and it is used to stress that something will happen despite something else that might prevent it. For example- 

I will submit my assignment tomorrow even if I have to stay up all night writing it.

They will meet me one last time even if they have to drive a hundred miles to reach me.

But in the given sentence, the idiom 'even though' must be used since it means 'despite the fact that'. In the given sentence, 'Esha did not win the election despite the fact that she worked hard for the campaign' so 'even though' is correct here.

Correct Sentence- Esha lost the college election even though she worked really hard for the campaign.
