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. Not only we saw (1)/ the President but also (2)/ the Chief Minister of Delhi. (3)/ No Error (4)?

Option 1 : 1

The ‘not only… but also’ correlative conjunction should be in the form- ‘not only X but also Y’, where X and Y should have parallel structures. But in the given sentence ‘we saw’ tells the action of the subjects and ‘the Chief Minister’ is a noun. Thus the two information are not grammatically parallel. The sentence should be constructed as: We saw not only the President but also the Chief Minister of Delhi. Placing the action of the subjects in the beginning allows both the information to be conveyed without repeating the term ‘we saw’. Thus, part 1 has the error.
