The sentence below has three parts. One of the parts may have an error. Identify the part. If there is no error, select D.
David, do you know (A) where the game (B) is being held at? (C) No error (D)

Correct option is A

Option (a) C contains the error.
The phrase “is being held at” is grammatically incorrect because the preposition “at” is unnecessary here. The verb “held” already conveys the idea of location, so using “at” after “where” becomes redundant.
The correct sentence should be: “David, do you know where the game is being held?”
Grammatical Rule Used: In interrogative clauses starting with "where", we do not use an additional preposition like “at” or “in.”
Since “where” already means “at what place,” adding “at” after it results in a preposition error known as redundancy.
Explanation in Hindi:
“Where” शब्द का अर्थ ही होता है “कहाँ” यानी “at what place,” इसलिए उसके बाद “at” लगाना अनावश्यक और गलत है।
सही वाक्य होगा: “where the game is being held” – न कि “where the game is being held at.”
Example:
· ❌ Incorrect: Do you know where she lives at?
· ✅ Correct: Do you know where she lives?
Analysis of options:
· (a) C – is being held at: ❌ Error due to unnecessary preposition
· (b) A – David, do you know: ✔ Correct
· (c) B – where the game: ✔ Correct
· (d) No error: ❌ Incorrect – error is clearly in part C
