Spot Error

Question:

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:

Options:

C

B

A

D

Correct Answer:

C

Explanation:

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.
