Question

The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
The Supreme Court set away / the verdict of the High Court / and agreed to hear the plea / of the complainant.

A.

the verdict of the High Court

B.

The Supreme Court set away

C.

and agreed to hear the plea

D.

of the complainant

Correct option is B

Option (b) contains an error.
Explanation:
The phrasal verb “set away” is incorrect here. The correct phrase is “set aside”, which means to nullify or reject a previous judgment.
“Set away” is not a standard phrasal verb in legal context.
Correct sentence: The Supreme Court set aside the verdict of the High Court...
Grammatical rule used:
Phrasal verbs carry specific meanings; wrong usage changes or nullifies the meaning.
Example: The judge set aside the lower court’s decision.
Information Booster: Legal expressions often use set phrases — "set aside" (reject a verdict), "strike down" (invalidate a law). Always use exact legal phrasal verbs.
