In the following question, some part of the sentence may have errors. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If a sentence is free from error, select 'No Error'. We hope devotees will (1)/ participate in the event and (2)/ get spiritually benefit. (3)/ No Error (4)?

Option 3 : 3

The correct answer is 3.

• The error is in the third part of the sentence. This sentence can be corrected in two ways
• We can either change it to 'spiritual benefits' or 'spiritually benefited'.
• 'Spiritually' is an adverb. An adverb is a word that qualifies a verb, adjective or another adverb. So 'spiritually benefited' is correct to use here.
• 'Spiritual is an adjective. An adjective is a word that qualifies a noun. So 'spiritual benefits' is also correct to use here.

Thus the sentence can be corrected as:

We hope devotees will participate in the event and get spiritually benefited.
                                             or

We hope devotees will participate in the event and get spiritual benefits.
