He will return back (A)/ to India after (B)/ completing his degree (C)/ this year. (D)
Read the sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical or idiomatic error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The corresponding letter of that part is the answer. If the given sentence is correct as it is, then choose option ‘No error’ as the answer response. (Ignore errors of punctuation, if any).
Correct Answer :
A
Solution :
The correct option is A.
Explanation:
The error lies in part (A) of the sentence: "He will return back".
The verb "return" itself means "to go or come back". Therefore, using the word "back" immediately after "return" is redundant and grammatically incorrect (a superfluity or pleonasm).
To correct the sentence, we should remove the word "back".
Corrected Sentence:
"He will return to India after completing his degree this year." or "He will come back to India after completing his degree this year."
