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. My manager has requested me (1)/ to submit my assignment (2)/ in the end of the week. (3)/ No error (4)?

Option 3 : 3

The correct answer is option 3.

The preposition ‘in’ has been incorrectly used in the sentence. It is used to refer to specific a series of events that is continuous. However, the sentence is implying that only one specific action is to be carried and that too only once. Therefore, the correct preposition to be used is ‘at’ as it means the point when something stops. The submission of the assignment will imply the end of the work.

So, the correct sentence- My manager has requested me to submit my assignment by the end of the week.
