Find out which part of the sentence has an error. If there is no error, choose ‘No error’.
Lest she should not forget the recipe, / Aai wrote it down / on the back of the kitchen calendar.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Lest she should not forget the recipe,
The sentence says “Lest she should not forget”. This is wrong. “Lest” already means “so that ... not”. Adding “not” after it gives the opposite meaning. So it must be Lest she should forget.
Option 1: Lest she should not forget the recipe, — Error. “should not forget” should be “should forget”.
Option 2: Aai wrote it down — No error.
Option 3: on the back of the kitchen calendar — No error.
Corrected: Lest she should forget the recipe, Aai wrote it down on the back of the kitchen calendar.
