A) It is not difficult to believe that a man	B) who has lived in this for a long time
C) he will never feel at home anywhere else in the world.	D) No error

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) he will never feel at home anywhere else in the world.

Explanation:

Error is in third part. By writing ‘who’ in the second part it has already been made clear that the sentence talks about ‘a man’. The use of ‘he’ becomes redundant or repetitive. By omitting ‘he’ the sentence becomes grammatically correct.

Q:

Read each sentence to find out whether there is an error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. If there is no error, the answer will be “No Error”.

A) Linking traditional American Native stories	B) to historic records of a Japanese tsunami
C) was considered an exception, not the start	D) of a fruitful geological collaboration.

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Linking traditional American Native stories

Explanation:

In 1 part, use of 'Native' after ‘American’ is incorrect. Also ‘traditional’ should come before ‘stories’. Native is an adjective that is used here for American and not stories. So native will come before American. Traditional is used as an adjective for stories. This is a case of misplaced modifiers.Hence 1 is the correct choice.
