Read the sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical or idiomatic error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The corresponding letter of that part is the answer. If the given sentence is correct as it is, then choose option ‘No error’ as the answer response. (Ignore errors of punctuation, if any).

He took pride in it (A)/ appearance and made sure to (B)/ wear clean, pressed, (C)/ and expensive clothes every day (D)/no error (E).

Correct option is D

Correct Answer: A

Correct Sentence:
He took pride in his appearance and made sure to wear clean, pressed, and expensive clothes every day.

Sentence Structure:
Simple sentence with compound predicate
Subject: He
Verb phrase: took pride … and made sure

Part (A): “He took pride in it”

Error: it

Rule:
After a preposition, we use the correct possessive adjective before a noun.
“Appearance” needs a possessive determiner showing ownership.

Correct form: his appearance

“His” agrees with subject “He.”

Example:
She is proud of her achievements.

Part (B): “appearance and made sure to”

Structure:
Compound verb phrase:
took pride … and made sure

Rule:
When two verbs share the same subject, conjunction “and” correctly joins them.

No error in (B).

Part (C): “wear clean, pressed,”

Structure:
Series of adjectives before noun “clothes.”

Rule:
Multiple adjectives can be joined by commas before a noun.

No error in (C).

Part (D): “and expensive clothes every day”

Structure:
Parallel adjective listing: clean, pressed, and expensive

Rule:
Items in a series must maintain parallel form.
All are adjectives modifying “clothes.”

No error in (D).
