    Question

    The following sentence has been divided into parts. One of them contains an error.
    He conceded / a very crucial / point at / his opponent.

    A.

    a very crucial

    B.

    point at

    C.

    He conceded

    D.

    his opponent

    Correct option is B

    Option (b) contains an error.
    Explanation:
    · The verb “conceded” means to admit or acknowledge something, especially after denying it earlier.
    · It is usually followed by a direct object, and when used with a person, the correct preposition is “to”, not “at.”
    Correct phrase:
    He conceded a very crucial point to his opponent.
    Grammatical rule used:
    · Verb + indirect object requires correct preposition.
    · Concede + something + to someone is the correct structure.
    Grammar Booster:
    Always use “to” with verbs like “explain, suggest, concede” when referring to the person:
    · He explained the idea to me.
    · She conceded the victory to her opponent.
