    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.
    Most of the passengers complained/ that the speed of the bus/ was usual fast.

    A.

    was usual fast.

    B.

    that the speed of the bus

    C.

    Most of the passengers complained

    D.

    No error.

    Correct option is A


    ✔️ The part containing the error is (a) was usual fast.
    Correct sentence: Most of the passengers complained that the speed of the bus was unusually fast.
    Explanation:
    · The phrase “was usual fast” is incorrect. The word “fast” is an adjective, and it needs to be modified by an adverb. The correct adverbial form of “usual” is “unusually”.
    Grammatical rule used:
    · An adverb is used to modify an adjective, verb, or another adverb. In this case, “fast” is an adjective and must be modified by “unusually”, which is an adverb.
    Hindi Explanation of the rule:
    · यदि कोई शब्द किसी विशेषण (जैसे fast) को qualify कर रहा हो, तो उसे क्रिया विशेषण (adverb) होना चाहिए। “Usual” एक adjective है, जबकि “unusually” एक adverb है — सही प्रयोग “unusually fast” होगा।
