Q:

Read each part of the sentence to find out if there is any error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The number of that part is the answer.

As much as i admire him for his talent(1) / and endeavor to achieve success(2)/ 

I cannot forgive him for being so(3)/rude to the not so well to do ones(4)

 

A) (1) B) (2)
C) (3) D) (4)
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) (1)

Explanation:

The error lies in part (1). 

As the phrase 'as much as' needs to be replaced with 'much as I'. This is because we use 'as much as' for comparing two qualities or things. But here in the given sentence a contrast is given in the latter part of the sentence. So we need a conjunction like 'even though' 'although' etc...

'Much as I' also serves the same purpose.
