The following sentence has been divided into parts. One of them contains an error. Select the part that contains the error from the given options.
You must avoid riding in a crowded bus / or travelling in a metro / during rush hour / as both are quiet unpleasant experiences.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. as both are quiet unpleasant experiences.
- The error lies in the option 4 due to the wrong usage of word 'quiet'.
- The word 'quiet' should be replaced with 'quite' to make the sentence meaningful.
- Quiet is the state of there being very little or no or sound; silence; not loud.
- Whereas, Quite means almost completely — near to whole.
- According to the sentence, 'you would get very bad experiences if you travel in metro and bus during rush hour. So, during rush hour, you should avoid it'.
The correct sentence will be:-
"You must avoid riding in a crowded bus or travelling in a metro during rush hour as both are quite unpleasant experiences."
Hence, the correct answer is Option 4 i.e. as both are quiet unpleasant experiences.
