Question

The following sentence has been divided into parts. One of them may contain an error. Select the part that contains the error:
Sincere students / like you and he should study / regularly to pass the examination.

A.

Sincere students

B.

regularly to pass the examination.

C.

No error

D.

like you and he should study

Correct option is C

Option (c) is correct.
In the sentence "Sincere students like you and he should study regularly to pass the examination," the interpretation that "like" is being used in a more conjunctive and formal sense allows for the use of "he" instead of "him."
This usage treats "you and he" as a compound subject of the verb "should study," which aligns with the formal grammatical structure.
Additional Clarification:
· Example of "like" as a conjunction-like comparator: "He sings like she does." Here, "like" is used to compare actions, and both "he" and "she" function as subjects in their respective clauses.
· Example of "like" as a preposition: "He sings like her." In this case, "like" introduces a comparison with the object pronoun "her."
