    Question

    Each of the given question consists of a sentence which is divided into four parts. Only one part in each sentence is not acceptable in standard written English. Identify the part which contains an error.

    A.

    When the rudder

    B.

    broke off from the boat,

    C.

    the sailor jumped in the bay

    D.

    and swam to the shore.

    Correct option is C

    · Explanation:
    · Part (c): "the sailor jumped in the bay." This part is incorrect because the preposition used with "jumped" is wrong. The correct preposition should be "into" rather than "in" when referring to a movement towards a body of water or any place. The verb "jumped" indicates movement, and "into" conveys that better than "in."
    · Corrected Sentence: The sailor jumped into the bay.
    · Grammatical Error: The error is in the incorrect use of the preposition. In this context, "jump into" is the correct phrasal verb to describe the action of jumping into water.
    · Hindi Explanation: जब हम किसी जगह या पानी में कूदने की बात करते हैं, तो इसके लिए "into" का प्रयोग करते हैं। "In" का प्रयोग उस स्थिति को दर्शाता है जब कोई चीज़ पहले से उस जगह या पानी में होती है, जबकि "into" का प्रयोग उस क्रिया के लिए होता है जब कोई चीज़ या व्यक्ति उस जगह में प्रवेश करता है।
    सही उत्तर: विकल्प (c) में त्रुटि है।
