Select the option that has an error in the use of phrasal verb.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 'Please suggest me some tips to get out nervousness.'
Error Concept: Incorrect usage of the phrasal verb and verb-object structure.
What is wrong: The phrase “suggest me” is incorrect. In English, “suggest” is not followed by an indirect object (like ‘me’) without a preposition. Also, the phrasal verb “get out nervousness” is incorrectly used.
Grammar Concept:
-
Suggest is followed by either a noun, gerund, or a “that” clause, not by a direct object like “me.”
-
The correct expression is “get over nervousness” or “overcome nervousness”, not “get out nervousness.”
Correction:
-
“Please suggest some tips to overcome nervousness.”
-
Or, “Please suggest to me some tips to overcome nervousness.”
Corrected phrase: Suggest some tips to overcome nervousness.
Final sentence: Please suggest some tips to overcome nervousness.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
