Question

Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error. If there is no error, select 'No error'.

A.

My teacher said to me that

B.

all that

C.

glitters was not gold.

D.

No error.

Correct option is C

Option (c) contains an error.
The correct sentence should be:
"My teacher said to me that all that glitters is not gold."
Explanation:
· The phrase "All that glitters is not gold" is a well-known proverb.
· The verb "is" should be used instead of "was" because the sentence expresses a general truth.
Grammatical rule used: Present tense is used for universal truths, proverbs, and scientific facts.
Example:
· Water boils at 100°C. (Not "boiled")
· Honesty is the best policy.
Explanation of the rule in Hindi:
सामान्य सत्य या कहावतों के लिए वाक्य को वर्तमान काल (Present Tense) में लिखा जाता है। इसलिए "was" के स्थान पर "is" सही उत्तर है।
