This is the first car for our neighbourhood Mr Sharma who (1)/ has a hard time balancing his wife (2)/ and kids on his old scooter. (3)/ No error (4)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. This is the first car for our neighbourhood Mr Sharma who.

The error lies in part 1 of the statement because of the wrong use of the Pronoun.

Concept-

  • We need to replace "neighbourhood" with "neighbour" for making the statement grammatically correct.
  • As "Mr Sharma" is a person we need to use "neighbour". "Neighbourhood" is used for an area not a person.
  • So we need to use "neighbour" at the place of "neighbourhood".

The correct sentence will be-

This is the first car for our neighbour Mr Sharma who has a hard time balancing his wife and kids on his old scooter.
