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) Considering about these facts B) the principal has offered
C) him a seat D) No error
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Considering about these facts

Explanation:

The error is in first part. ‘Considering’ is a preposition that relates the facts to the principal and hence does not need to be followed by another preposition ‘about’. A preposition like ‘considering’ should be followed by a pronoun like ‘these’ in this case. The use of about is unnecessary and shall be omitted. The sentence indicates that the principal offered him a seat only after considering certain facts.
