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'.
It is not such a pretty place that I had expected.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3, i.e. that I had expected.
- The usage of 'that' in this part makes the sentence incorrect because the sentence tries to draw a comparison between the place and the expectation of the speaker. 'That' is used to identify a specific person or thing observed or heard by the speaker. So, the meaning becomes different from that denoted by the statement. The correct word that should have been used is 'as' because it is used in comparisons to refer to the extent or degree of something.
