In the following question, some part of the sentence may have errors. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If a sentence is free from error, select 'No Error'.

The patient died (A)/ despite he had received (B)/ the best medical help. (C)/ No error(D)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. B.

  1. As there is a preposition "despite" in part B of the statement we need to use "Noun" after this.
  2. For using a Noun we need to prepare a noun here like "the fact".

Now the sentence will be- 

The patient died despite the fact that he had received the best medical help.

This will be the correct construction of the sentence.
