Question

The following sentence has been divided into parts. One of them may contain an error. Select the part that contains the error from the given options.
This hall is / badly to need / of repair.

A.

badly to need

B.

No error

C.

This hall is

D.

of repair

Correct option is A

Option (a) contains an error.
Explanation:
· The phrase "badly to need" is incorrect in terms of verb structure and placement.
· The correct form should be "in bad need of repair" or "badly in need of repair."
· The infinitive "to need" is not used in this structure. Instead, we use the noun form "need" with the correct prepositions.
Grammatical rule used:
Use of noun phrases with appropriate prepositions in expressions like "in need of," not "to need of."
Correct sentence:
· This hall is badly in need of repair.
Example:
· The road is badly in need of maintenance.
�� Grammar Booster:
“Need” as a noun is used with "in need of + noun" for indicating necessity. Avoid inserting unnecessary infinitives like “to need” in such fixed expressions.
