    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'.
    The museum was built in 1972, although/ the chief's home and store (the museum's main attractions)/ remained closed because for their fragility.

    A.

    the chief's home and store (the museum's main attractions)

    B.

    No error

    C.

    remained closed because for their fragility.

    D.

    The museum was built in 1972, although

    Correct option is C

    Option (c) contains the error.
    · The phrase “because for” is grammatically incorrect. You can either say “because of” or “for”, but not both together.
    · Correct sentence: remained closed because of their fragility.
    Grammatical rule used:
    �� ‘Because of’ is a preposition followed by a noun, and ‘because’ is a conjunction followed by a clause.
    Example:
    · Incorrect: He left because of he was tired.
    · Correct: He left because he was tired.
    · Correct: He left because of tiredness.
    �� Information Booster: Never use “because for” together – it’s a redundancy error.
