Choose which part of the given sentence has an error:
A. The holy river Ganga
B. flows
C. besides the wall
D. of the temple
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) - C
The error is in part C. The correct preposition to use here is "beside," not "besides."
- Beside means next to or at the side of.
- Besides means in addition to or apart from.
Since the sentence refers to the river flowing next to the wall, "beside" is the appropriate word.
