    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).
    Question

    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).

    A.

    D

    B.

    C

    C.

    B

    D.

    A

    E.

    No error

    Correct option is D

    The error lies in part (A) of the sentence.
    The pronoun " it" doesn't make sense in the context of the sentence as it doesn't refer to any specific person or thing that can take pride in their appearance. It's unclear what "it" is referring to in this sentence.
    Thus, the correct pronoun to use in this sentence is " his".
    Hence, the correct sentence formed will be “He took pride in his appearance and made sure to wear clean, pressed, and expensive clothes every day”
