Question

The sentence below has been divided into three parts. Select the part of the sentence that has an error. If the sentence has no error, select the option ‘No Error’.
But hardly did she reach/ the county seat when/ she was arrested and put in jail.

A.

she was arrested and put in jail.

B.

the county seat when

C.

No Error

D.

But hardly did she reach

Correct option is C


The correct answer is (c) No Error.

Explanation:

  • The structure hardly did + subject + base verb is an accepted inverted form used to show that one event happened almost immediately before another.
  • Here, hardly did she reach correctly conveys that she barely reached the county seat when she was arrested.
  • The connector when appropriately introduces the second action that followed immediately.
  • Therefore, no part of the sentence is incorrect as per the intended construction.

Key grammatical point (English):

Inversion for emphasis: Hardly + auxiliary (did) + subject + base verb + ... + when + past action.

व्याकरण नियम (Hindi):

जोर देने के लिए inversion में Hardly के बाद did आकर वाक्य उलट जाता है: Hardly + did + subject + verb (V1) + when ...

So the correct answer is (c)
