Find the part of the given sentence that has an error in it. If there is no error, choose ‘No error’.
Alongside the monsoon season between June and (1)/ September, the unbroken Western Ghats chain (2)/ acts as a barrier to the moisture-laden clouds. (3)/ No Error (4)

Correct option is A

The error lies in option (a).

Explanation:

• The phrase Alongside the monsoon season is incorrect because alongside means “together with/beside,” not “during.”
• Here, we need a time-related preposition to show the period when something happens, such as during or in.

Correct sentence (one correct form):

• During the monsoon season between June and September, the unbroken Western Ghats chain acts as a barrier to the moisture-laden clouds.

Grammatical rule (English):

• Use during/in to indicate time/period; alongside indicates position or accompaniment, not duration.

व्याकरण नियम (Hindi):

• समय बताने के लिए during/in का प्रयोग होता है; alongside का अर्थ “के साथ/बगल में” होता है, “के दौरान” नहीं।

So the correct answer is (a)
