Question

Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error. If there is no error, select 'No error'
He then set out on his journey,/ and rides on and on till he reached a jungle/ where he found some water and shady trees.

A.

He then set out on his journey,

B.

where he found some water and shady trees.

C.

and rides on and on till he reached a jungle

D.

No error

Correct option is C

Option (c) contains a grammatical error.
Explanation: The verb "rides" in the clause "and rides on and on" is in the present tense, while the rest of the sentence ("he reached a jungle") is in the past tense. To maintain tense consistency, "rides" should be changed to the past tense "rode."
Correct Sentence: He then set out on his journey, and rode on and on till he reached a jungle where he found some water and shady trees.
Grammatical rule used: Tense consistency is essential within a sentence. When an event or action is described in the past tense, all actions in the same time frame should also be in the past tense.
In Hindi: कालों की संगति: जब वाक्य में क्रियाएं भूतकाल में होती हैं, तो सभी क्रियाओं को भूतकाल में बनाए रखना आवश्यक है।
Example: Incorrect: She finished her work and goes to the market. Correct: She finished her work and went to the market.
