Question

Find the part of the given sentence that has an error in it. If there is no error, choose ‘No error’.
In some regions, most notably in Awadh, the (1)/ rebellion take upon the attributes of a patriotic (2)/ revolt against European oppression. (3)/ No Error (4)

A.

In some regions, most notably in Awadh, the

B.

rebellion take upon the attributes of a patriotic

C.

revolt against European oppression.

D.

No Error

Correct option is B

The error lies in option (b).

Explanation:

  • The phrase take upon is incorrect here. The correct phrasal verb is take on (meaning “to assume/adopt”).
  • Also, rebellion is a singular noun, so the verb should be singular: takes, not take (unless the sentence is in past tense “took”).

Correct sentence (one correct form):

  • ...the rebellion took on the attributes of a patriotic revolt against European oppression.
  • (Alternatively, in present form: the rebellion takes on the attributes...)

Grammatical rule (English):

  • Singular subject takes singular verb: rebellion takes.
  • Correct phrasal verb: take on = assume/adopt.

व्याकरण नियम (Hindi):

  • एकवचन कर्ता के साथ एकवचन क्रिया आती है: rebellion takes
  • “अंगीकार करना/अपनाना” के लिए take on सही है, “take upon” नहीं।

So the correct answer is (b)
