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. If you don’t find any error,
mark ‘No error’ as your answer.
She called on my office / yesterday but I was / out of station on tour.

A.

No error

B.

out of station on tour.

C.

yesterday but I was

D.

She called on my office

Correct option is D


Option (d) contains an error.
�� Detailed Explanation of Error:
The error lies in the use of the phrasal verb “called on” with the noun “my office”.
The phrasal verb “call on” is used when referring to visiting a person, not a place.
❌ Incorrect: She called on my office
✔ Correct: She called on me at my office
Thus, the sentence should refer to the person being visited, not the office itself.
Grammatical Rule Used:
Phrasal verbs have fixed structures and collocations.
“Call on” means to visit a person, and must be followed by a person, not a location.
Explanation of the grammatical rule in Hindi:
Call on का अर्थ होता है किसी व्यक्ति से मिलने जाना।
इसका प्रयोग स्थान (office) के साथ नहीं होता।
✅ सही: She called on me at my office.
❌ गलत: She called on my office
