Which part of the following sentence contains an error ?
(a) Both Raghunath as well as Ravish
(b) have given
(c) their consent
(d) to the new proposal
Correct Answer :
(a)
Solution :
The correct option is (a).
Explanation:
The conjunction "Both" is always followed by "and", not "as well as". Therefore, the correlative conjunction pair is "Both ... and".
In part (a), the phrase "Both Raghunath as well as Ravish" incorrectly uses "as well as". To correct the sentence, "as well as" should be replaced with "and".
Corrected Sentence:
"Both Raghunath and Ravish have given their consent to the new proposal."
