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. As I had been very bad  (A)/ at calculations, my Mathematics teacher asked me  (B)/ to carefully solve the questions. (C)/ No error (D).?

Option 3 : C

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

The error lies in part C of the sentence because of the wrong placement of adverb ‘carefully’. The word ‘carefully’ should be placed after questions.

Please note it is incorrect to use adverbs in between of participles. For example: ‘He insisted me to thoroughly read the article’. In this sentence, the adverb ‘thoroughly’ should be placed at the end of the sentence. So, the correct sentence is ‘He insisted me to read the article thoroughly’.

Thus, the correct sentence for the above question is-

As I had been very bad at calculations, my Mathematics teacher asked me to solve the questions carefully.
