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 Indian expedition/ to the Mount Everest is/ leaving next month.

A.

No Error

B.

The Indian expedition

C.

leaving next month.

D.

to the Mount Everest is

Correct option is D


The error lies in option (d).

Explanation:

  • Mount Everest is a proper noun (name of a mountain). Proper names of mountains generally do not take the definite article the before Mount.
  • Therefore, to the Mount Everest is incorrect. It should be to Mount Everest.
  • The usage is leaving next month is acceptable for a fixed future plan (present continuous used for future arrangements).

Correct sentence:

The Indian expedition to Mount Everest is leaving next month.

Grammatical rule (English):

Proper nouns are generally used without an article; do not use the before “Mount + Name.”

व्याकरण नियम (Hindi):

Proper noun के साथ सामान्यतः the का प्रयोग नहीं होता; “Mount Everest” से पहले “the” नहीं आएगा।

So the correct answer is (d)
