Question

Parts of the following sentence have been given as options. One of them may contain an error. Select the part that contains the error from the given options. If you don’t find any error, mark ‘No error’ as your answer.
At seven began the education that was to making the young boy a citizen and a soldier.

A.

No error

B.

At seven began the education

C.

boy a citizen and a soldier

D.

that was to making the young

Correct option is D

Option (d) contains an error.
· The phrase "that was to making" is grammatically incorrect.
· The correct structure should be "that was to make" because after "to" (infinitive marker), the base form of the verb should be used instead of the gerund form (making).
Grammatical rule used:
· The infinitive ("to" + base verb) is used to express purpose or intent.
· Example:
· Incorrect: He wants to going to the market.
· Correct: He wants to go to the market.
Corrected sentence:
"At seven began the education that was to make the young boy a citizen and a soldier."
