Identify the part which has an error in it.
From this place, / Meerut is / over ten miles / the shortest route

Correct option is D

Error part: (d) the shortest route
What is wrong (in detail):
• The sentence is incomplete because it needs a linking preposition like “by” before “the shortest route”.
• Correct expression: “over ten miles by the shortest route”
Correct sentence: From this place, Meerut is over ten miles by the shortest route.
Grammatical Rule (English):
• Distance expressions often take by + route/road/way (by the shortest route).
व्याकरणिक नियम (Hindi):
• दूरी बताने में “route” के साथ अक्सर by आता है: by the shortest route = सबसे छोटे रास्ते से।
Hence, option (d) is the correct answer.
