The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.

Rishi and Rahul are twins / but both do not take off / the kindness and generosity / of their parents.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. but both do not take off.

The error is related to the incorrect phrasal verb.

"Take off" is contextually incorrect as it means removing clothing from one's or another's body.

The correct phrasal verb is "Take on".

It means acquiring a particular meaning or quality.

The correct sentence will be: Rishi and Rahul are twins but both do not take on the kindness and generosity of their parents.
