Spot The Error Part-10

We can never write 'in-laws' because it is incorrect to add 's' in the suffix(of law). However, we generally write son-in-law for a single male and sons-in-law for more than one male. Similarly, the given sentence talks about two males. Hence, 'His sons-in-law' is the most appropriate answer.

The preposition 'at' is used when you are at a specific address, at a general location, and at a point. However, the preposition 'in' is used in a space, neighborhood, city and country. Similarly, the given sentence talks about a businessman in the neighborhood(colony). Hence, 'in our colony' is the most appropriate answer.

According to the "Subject-Verb Agreement Rule", 'Either of/ Neither of + Plural Subject + Singular verb' is grammatically the correct structure. The given sentence has 'Roads' as a plural subject and 'leads' as a singular verb. Hence, 'leads to' is the most appropriate answer.

We generally use the preposition 'from' with prevent not 'to'. Hence, we will replace 'to' with 'from' and 'from going abroad' becomes the most appropriate answer.

'Whom' is an object pronoun that refers to the person who was the recipient of an action. However, 'Whose' is a possessive pronoun that refers to the person to whom something belongs. Similarly, the given sentence refers to a Swami to whom the autobiography belongs. Hence, 'whose autobiography' is the most appropriate answer.

'Crowd' means a large number of people in one place and these people are migrant workers(not a single worker) in the given sentence. However, it is irrelevant to use the definite article 'the' as the workers are not specific. Hence, 'of migrant workers' is the most appropriate answer.

There is a prepositional error in the given sentence. The preposition 'to' is missing after 'listen'. Hence, 'listen to me' is the most appropriate answer.

'Held back' means to not do something & 'held on' means to maintain a grasp on something. Both are phrasal verbs. Similarly, in the given sentence, the crow grasps the piece of bread with its claws. Hence, 'the crow held on' is the most appropriate answer.

'Has + V3' is the correct grammatical structure for the given sentence. However, the V₃ form of 'ripen' is 'ripened'. Hence, 'has ripened' is the most appropriate answer.

The form of the verb 'meet' is incorrect(met) in the context of the given sentence. It should be written in the simple present form(meet). Hence, 'we would meet' is the most appropriate answer.
