Question

Find the part of the given sentence that has an error in it. If there is no error, choose ‘No error’.

Erection of the first aircraft series formally started / in December 1992, but was suspended in November / 1995 due to political and economic uncertainty. / No Error

A.

Erection of the first aircraft series formally started

B.

in December 1992, but was suspended in November

C.

1995 due to political and economic uncertainty

D.

No Error

Correct option is A

Explanation: The error lies in part (a) because the word “Erection” is incorrectly used in the context of aircraft production.

Erection is generally used for raising/setting up a structure (like a building, monument, pole, etc.). For aircraft, the correct term is “production”, “manufacturing”, “construction”, or “assembly”.

• Hence, the sentence becomes contextually incorrect due to wrong word choice.

Correct sentence (one appropriate correction):

Production/Manufacturing/Assembly of the first aircraft series formally started in December 1992, but was suspended in November 1995 due to political and economic uncertainty.

Grammatical/Usage Rule Used (English):

Wrong word usage (Diction Error): A sentence may be grammatically correct but still wrong if the chosen word does not fit the context.

• “Erection” is used with structures/buildings, not with aircraft series.

• For machines/vehicles, verbs and nouns like manufacture, produce, assemble, construction are used.

व्याकरण/भाषा नियम (Hindi):

यह word choice/diction की गलती है।

• “Erection” शब्द का प्रयोग सामान्यतः इमारत, स्मारक, खंभा आदिखड़ा करनेके अर्थ में होता है।

• Aircraft के लिए सही शब्द production/manufacturing/assembly होते हैं।

इसलिए भाग (a) में गलत शब्द के कारण वाक्य अर्थ की दृष्टि से गलत हो जाता है।

Why other parts are correct:

• (b) “in December 1992, but was suspended in November” – tense and structure सही है।

• (c) “1995 due to political and economic uncertainty” – reason clause सही है।

So the correct answer is (a).
