Find out which part has an error and mark it as your answer. If there is no error, mark ‘No error’ as your answer. It seemed to me that the principal (A) / of the school looking at me (B) / in a rather suspicious manner. (C) / No Error (D)?

Option 2 : B

The correct answer is 'B' i.e. 'error lies in this part of the sentence.'

In part B of the sentence, the usage of 'looking' is incorrect Instead of it use 'was looking'

• Let's see the structure of the sentence:- 
• 'That' is a relative pronoun which generally makes a clause. In a clause, there must be a subject and a predicate. 
• In this 'that clause' the subject is 'the principal' and the verb is missing in part B because if we write only 'looking' then it will become a gerund which we don't want.
• Hence, we need to write an auxiliary verb since this is a past indefinite tense as we can stipulate it from the main clause i.e. 'It seemed to me' so usage of 'was looking' should be there.

So the correct sentence is- It seemed to me that the principal of the school was looking at me in a rather suspicious manner.
