    Question

    Identify the part which contains an error.
    He is / suffering from / pneumonia / for a week now.

    A.

    He is

    B.

    suffering from

    C.

    pneumonia

    D.

    for a week now

    Correct option is A


    Error part: (a) He is
    Correct form: He has been / He has been suffering from pneumonia for a week now.
    Detailed explanation:
    • The phrase “for a week now” shows a duration that started in the past and continues up to the present.
    • For such duration + continuing action/state, we generally use Present Perfect Continuous: has/have been + V-ing.
    • “He is suffering…” is present continuous, but it does not naturally fit with long duration like “for a week now” in exam-standard grammar.
    Grammatical rule (English):
    • Duration (for/since) + continuing action → Present Perfect Continuous (has/have been + V-ing)
    व्याकरणिक नियम (Hindi):
    for/since से समयावधि आए और क्रिया अभी तक जारी हो, तो Present Perfect Continuous आता है: has/have been + verb-ing
    Why other parts are correct (meanings included):
    • (b) suffering from → सही collocation (Hindi: से पीड़ित होना)
    • (c) pneumonia → बीमारी का नाम (Hindi: निमोनिया)
    • (d) for a week now → सही duration phrase (Hindi: एक सप्ताह से अब तक)
    Hence, option (a) is the correct answer.
