The following sentence has been divided into parts. One of them may contain an error. Select the part that contains the error from the given options. If you don’t find any error, mark ‘No error’ as your answer.

Children were prohibited to attend / the military parade in which / deadly weapons were displayed.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Children were prohibited to attend.

The error is related to the incorrect form of preposition.

"Prohibited" is generally followed by the preposition "from".

Also, we use V-ing after "Prohibited from".

Thus, "from attending" is correct to use here.

The correct sentence will be: Children were prohibited from attending the military parade in which deadly weapons were displayed.
