Find the part of the sentence that contains an error:
The committee debated (1)/ whether the proposed measures (2)/ were adequate enough (3)/ to meet long-term energy goals. (4)
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. (3)
Concept: Redundant Usage
Hindi Meaning:
Adequate = पर्याप्त
Enough = पर्याप्त
Explanation:
The phrase “adequate enough” is incorrect because both “adequate” and “enough” convey the same meaning of sufficiency. Using them together creates redundancy.
Correction:
Use either “adequate” or “enough,” but not both together.
Final Sentence:
“The committee debated whether the proposed measures were adequate to meet long-term energy goals.”
