Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. And it has to wait still the advent of northeast monsoon.
The error lies in part 3 of the statement because of the different part of speech.
Concept-
- We need to replace 'still ' with 'until ' to make the statement grammatically correct.
- To mention 'up to (the point in time or the event mentioned)', 'until is used.
- So we need to use 'until ' at the place of 'still '.
The correct sentence will be-
Karnataka receives most of its annual rainfall during the monsoon, whereas Tamil Nadu does not get much then and it has to wait until the advent of northeast monsoon.
