    Identify the segment in the sentence which contains a grammatical error. If there is no error, then select the option 'No error'. Jawaharlal Nehru
    Question

    Identify the segment in the sentence which contains a grammatical error. If there is no error, then select the option 'No error'.
    Jawaharlal Nehru was a scholar as well a statesman.

    A.

    No error

    B.

    as well a statesman

    C.

    Jawaharlal Nehru

    D.

    was a scholar

    Correct option is B


    Option (b) contains an error.
    · The phrase "as well a statesman" is grammatically incorrect because it lacks the conjunction "as" needed to correctly compare or connect the attributes mentioned. The correct phrase should be "as well as a statesman," which properly links the qualities of being both a scholar and a statesman.
    · Grammatical rule used: In expressions that list comparable or linked attributes, "as well as" is used to connect them correctly, ensuring the sentence flows and makes sense logically.
    · Example: "She is talented as well as intelligent," correctly uses "as well as" to link the attributes.
