Question

Choose the part of the sentence that contains an error:
She resembles with her mother.

A.

mother

B.

with her mother

C.

She resembles

D.

No error

Correct option is B

Option (b) contains the error.
Detailed explanation: The verb resemble does not take a preposition before its object. The correct structure is resemble + noun/pronoun. Hence, “ She resembles her mother” is correct; “ resembles with” is incorrect.
Grammatical rule used: Certain verbs are non-prepositional and take a direct object: resemble, discuss, request, enter, marry, lack, reach, order, await.
Example:
· Incorrect: He discussed about the plan.
· Correct: He discussed the plan.
· Info booster: Many Indian English errors arise from adding unnecessary prepositions. Remember: resemble + object (no “with/to”).
