A.

A

B.

B

C.

C

D.

D

E.

No Error

Correct option is B

Correct Answer: (B)

Explanation:
The error is in the phrase “useful advices”. The word “advice” is an uncountable noun (अगणनीय संज्ञा) and therefore cannot take a plural form.

Grammar Rule:
Uncountable nouns (such as advice, information, furniture, luggage) do not have plural forms and are not used with “-s/es”.
If quantity needs to be expressed, phrases like “a piece of advice”, “some advice”, or “a lot of advice” are used instead.

  • Incorrect: advices
  • Correct: advice

Correct sentence:
He received a lot of useful advice from his experienced coach before the big championship game.

Part-wise analysis:
(A) He received a lot – correct
(B) of useful advices – incorrect (violates uncountable noun rule)
(C) from his – correct
(D) experienced coach before – correct

Thus, the error is in part (B).
