Choose the part of the sentence which has an error.
Nisha’s father works for the railways, / so she has studied / in five different towns / and is used to change schools often.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → and is used to change schools often
The sentence says “is used to change”. This is wrong. “Be used to” means to be in the habit of something. Here “to” works as a preposition, so the verb after it takes the -ing form. So it must be is used to changing.
Option 1: Nisha’s father works for the railways, — No error.
Option 2: so she has studied — No error.
Option 3: in five different towns — No error.
Option 4: and is used to change schools often — Error. “change” should be “changing”.
Corrected: Nisha’s father works for the railways, so she has studied in five different towns and is used to changing schools often.
