    Question

    Identify the part which contains the error.
    English (A) as well as French (B) was taught (C) on the college. (D)

    A.

    A

    B.

    B

    C.

    C

    D.

    D

    Correct option is D


    Option (d) contains an error.
    Detailed Explanation (English):
    • The error is in the preposition phrase “on the college”.
    • For places like school/college/hospital (as a building/place), we generally use in/at, not “on”.
    • Here the intended meaning is location, so the correct usage is in the college (or at the college).
    • Therefore, part (d) is incorrect.
    Correct sentence: English as well as French was taught in the college.
    Grammatical Rule Used (English):
    • Prepositions of place:
    in for inside an enclosed place/building (in the college)
    at for a point/place (at the college)
    on for surface contact (on the table), so it is wrong here
    Grammatical Rule Used (Hindi):
    • “on” का प्रयोग सतह (surface) के लिए होता है (जैसे on the table)।
    • कॉलेज/स्कूल जैसे स्थानों के लिए सामान्यतः in/at प्रयोग होता है।
    • इसलिए “on the college” गलत है; सही होगा “in the college/at the college”。
    Example:
    • He studies in the college.
