Parts of the following sentence are given as options. Identify the part that contains a grammatical error. If there is no error, choose ‘No error’.
Holding a tray of hot pakoras, / Chachi smiled as she / entered into the drawing room.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → entered into the drawing room
When “enter” means to go into a place, it takes the place directly, with no “into”. So the right form is entered the drawing room.
Option 1: Holding a tray of hot pakoras, — No error.
Option 2: Chachi smiled as she — No error.
Option 3: entered into the drawing room — Error. “entered into” should be “entered”.
Corrected: Holding a tray of hot pakoras, Chachi smiled as she entered the drawing room.
