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'.
Millions of Jews lost (A)/ their kith and kin (B)/ in Hitler concentration camps. (C)/ No error (D)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option C i.e. in Hitler concentration camps.

The error lies in part C of the statement because of the wrong use of the Possessive case.

Concept-

  • We need to replace "Hitler" with "Hitler's" for making the statement grammatically correct.
  • As there is a noun after Hitler in the statement we need to show a relation of that noun with Hitler.
  • For showing relation we use an apostrophe ('s) so in the statement, we need to use this.

The correct sentence will be-

Millions of Jews lost their kith and kin in Hitler concentration camps.
