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'.  The Maldives has been buffeted by one political crisis after another (1)/ since Nasheed, the first democratically elected president, (2)/ was forcibly to quit in 2012. (3)/ No error (4) ?

Option 3 : 3

The correct answer is '3' i.e. error lies in the third part of the sentence.

In part 3 of the sentence, the usage of 'forcibly' is incorrect Instead, use 'forced'

• According to grammar, 'forcibly' is an adverb of the manner in the given sentence we don't need an adverb here we need a past participle to make it in the passive voice because the doer of the verb 'forced' is somebody else.

So the correct sentence is- The Maldives has been buffeted by one political crisis after another since Nasheed, the first democratically elected president, was forced to quit in 2012.
