Choose the grammatically incorrect sentence from the following:

Choose the grammatically incorrect sentence from the following:

Answer & explanation+

Correct answer: option 2

The correct answer is Option (2) → He closely resembles with his father on facial features.

The verb "resemble":

  • Resemble means to look like or be like someone.
  • It is a transitive verb: it takes its object directly, without a preposition (resembles his father, not "resembles with his father").
  • The feature in which two people are alike is introduced with in: resemble someone in looks, in facial features.
  • This sentence has both errors, "with" and "on".
    Corrected: He closely resembles his father in facial features.
    Example: The twins resemble each other in every way.

Why the Other Options are Incorrect?

Option 1: I always encourage everyone to listen to the advice of their elders. — Incorrect. Correct use: the sentence is correct: "encourage someone to do", "listen to" and "their" after "everyone" are all standard.

Option 3: There is no cause for anxiety right now. — Incorrect. Correct use: the sentence is correct: "cause for" (a reason for) is the right preposition.

Option 4: She was overwhelmed with grief upon hearing the sad news. — Incorrect. Correct use: the sentence is correct: "overwhelmed with grief" and "upon hearing" are standard.
