Q:

Read each sentence to find out whether there is any error in any underlined part and indicate your response in the Answer Sheet against the corresponding letter i.e., (a) or (b) or (c). If you find no error, your response should be indicated as (d).

A) Tell him to take B) another photograph
C) of the group D) No error
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Tell him to take

Explanation:

The error is in first part. ‘Tell’ should be replaced with ‘Ask’. Tell is a command whereas Ask is a request and hence more courteous in this case. As this is a request the sentence should start with ‘Ask’ rather than ‘tell’.
