Question

The following sentence has been divided into four segments. Identify the segment that contains an adverbial usage error.
Mrs. Gomathi was / that tired and weak / that she could / scarcely walk.

A.

Mrs. Gomathi was

B.

that she could

C.

scarcely walk.

D.

that tired and weak

Correct option is D


The segment containing the error is "that tired and weak."
· The phrase "that tired and weak" is incorrect because "that" is misplaced and unnecessary. The sentence should read: "so tired and weak."
Correct sentence: Mrs. Gomathi was so tired and weak that she could scarcely walk.
· Grammatical Rule Used: When expressing a cause-effect relationship, the correct structure is: so + adjective/adverb + that + clause.
· Explanation of the grammatical rule in Hindi: "That tired and weak" को "so tired and weak" से बदलना चाहिए। "so" का उपयोग किसी विशेषण को बढ़ाने के लिए किया जाता है।
