Spot The Error Part-10

We cannot use 'rest' & 'remaining' together in a sentence as it becomes the case of superfluousness(not necessary). Hence, 'remaining' will be removed from the sentence & 'the rest of my life' is the most appropriate answer.

'Still' means starting in the past and continuing until now. However, 'still' generally comes before a verb in the present perfect form(has/have) and 'yet' usually comes at the end of the sentence. Similarly in the given sentence, the time for catching the bus has started in the past and continued till now. Hence, 'We still' is the most appropriate answer.

'Otherwise' is a conjunction that means apart from that. However, 'But' is also a conjunction that is used for introducing an idea that contrasts with or is different from what has just been said. Similarly in the given sentence, the statement that the dog is harmless contrasts with its characteristic of being ferocious (violent). Hence, 'But' is the most appropriate answer.

'Besides' means 'in addition to something' & 'Beside' means 'at the side of, or next to somebody/something'. However, the given sentence states that the girl lay down on the bed next to her mother and went to sleep. Hence, 'beside her mother' is the most appropriate answer.

We generally use the phrases 'go to bed', 'gone to bed' or 'went to bed'. Hence, we will remove the definite article 'the' from the given sentence and 'went to bed' becomes the most appropriate answer.

There is a prepositional error in the given sentence. The preposition 'to' after 'different must be replaced with 'from' because 'different' generally takes the preposition 'from' with it. Hence, 'different from what' is the most appropriate answer.

We cannot write 'precedes' and 'before' together in a sentence as they have similar meanings & that will become a case of superfluousness(not necessary). Hence, 'before' must be removed from the sentence to make it grammatically correct.

'Avail' always takes the preposition 'of' and a reflexive pronoun(myself, yourself, ourselves, etc.) in accordance with the given subject(You). Hence, 'avail yourself of this opportunity' is the most appropriate answer.

The given sentence is in the simple past tense so the verb must be used in its simple past form(failed) and not in the past perfect form(had been failed). Hence, 'he failed' is the most appropriate answer.

"Persist + in + V-ing" is the correct grammatical structure for the given sentence. Hence, the preposition 'to' must be replaced with the preposition 'in' and 'persists in asking (V-ing)' becomes the most appropriate answer.
