Question

In the following sentence, four words or phrases have been highlighted. One of them is incorrect. Select the INCORRECT word or phrase from the given options.
His parents prohibited him against joining the modeling career.

A.

His

B.

Prohibited

C.

Against

D.

Modeling career

Correct option is C

The error lies in option (c).
• Explanation: The verb 'prohibit' takes a fixed prepositional pattern. It must always be followed by the preposition 'from' and a gerund (V + ing). Therefore, using 'against joining' is grammatically incorrect, and it must be replaced with 'from joining'.
• Thus, the error lies in the choice of preposition, and it is corrected by replacing 'against' with 'from'.
• Grammatical rule (English): The verb 'prohibit' follows the structural construction: 'Prohibit someone + from + gerund (V + ing)'.
• व्याकरण नियम (Hindi): 'Prohibit' क्रिया के बाद हमेशा 'from' प्रीपोज़िशन और उसके बाद gerund (V + ing) का प्रयोग होता है, न कि 'against' का।

So the correct answer is (c)
