Read the sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical or idiomatic error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The letter of that part is the answer. If the given sentence is grammatically and contextually correct, then choose option “No error” as your answer response. (Ignore errors of punctuation, if any).

The escaped prisoner (A)/ showed compassion (B)/ when him assisted the (C)/ wounded police officer. (D)

Correct option is C

Correct Answer:
(c) C
Grammatical Rule Explanation:
The error is in part (C): "when him assisted the"
1. Incorrect Pronoun Usage:
· "Him" is an object pronoun (used as the object of a verb or preposition).
· The subject of the verb "assisted" should be a subject pronoun ("he" instead of "him").
2. Corrected Sentence:
3. "The escaped prisoner showed compassion when he assisted the wounded police officer."
Strict Grammatical Rule Applied:
· Pronoun Case Rule: A subject pronoun (I, you, he, she, it, we, they) must be used as the subject of a verb, while an object pronoun (me, you, him, her, it, us, them) is used as the object of a verb or preposition.
· In the clause "when him assisted the wounded police officer," the pronoun "him" is incorrectly used as the subject. It must be replaced with "he" (a subject pronoun).
