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. I like tea (A)/ either with bread (B)/ or coffee with snacks. (C)/ No error (D)?

Option 1 : A

The error lies in part A of the sentence. Hence, the answer is option 1.

Here, it has been stated that the person likes tea either with bread or coffee with snacks. Whenever we use a conjunction like ‘either’ we need to make statements which are equal with respect to each other so the ideal statement should say ‘I like tea either with bread or (some equivalent replacement to bread)’.

For instance, the sentence ‘I like tea either with bread or biscuits.’ is correct because the author says he/she likes tea and can have it with bread or biscuits. Bread and biscuits are equally accepted entities here. However, the latter half of the sentence says ‘coffee with snacks’ which is not an equal comparison.

The correct sentence will use a conjunction as follows: ‘I either like tea with bread or coffee with snacks’, where the two equal entities are ‘tea with bread’ and ‘coffee with snacks’.

Hence the correct Option is A
