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