each sentence is divided into four parts, in which one part may or may not contains error. Choose the incorrect part as your answer. If no such part has any error, choose ‘No error’ as your answer choice.
Some people do not like hypothetical discussed(A) / situations because they do not (B) /care to talk about things that (C) /aren’t real or haven’t occurred yet (D) .
Correct Answer :
A
Solution :
The correct option is A.
Detailed Explanation:
Let's analyze the sentence structure and grammar in part (A):
"Some people do not like hypothetical discussed..."
In this phrase, "situations" (from part B) is the noun being modified by the adjectives "hypothetical" and "discussed". However, the order of words is incorrect.
The adjective "hypothetical" should directly precede the past participle used as an adjective ("discussed") or, more accurately, "discussed" should modify "situations" in a proper sequence such as "discussed hypothetical situations" or "hypothetically discussed situations".
Specifically, using "hypothetical discussed situations" is ungrammatical. The word "discussed" is misplaced before "situations". The correct ordering to convey the intended meaning is "discussed hypothetical situations" or simply "hypothetical situations discussed".
Therefore, part (A) contains the grammatical error.
