The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
Coimbatore is one of / the biggest cities in Tamil Nadu / and is considered / as a Manchester of South India.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. as a Manchester of South India
The error is in the phrase 'as a Manchester of South India.'
When we use 'considered,' we do not need to add 'as' after it. The correct structure is: 'considered a Manchester of South India.'
The word 'as' is unnecessary and makes the sentence incorrect.
Why the other options are correct:
Option 1: 'Coimbatore is one of' is grammatically correct.
Option 3: 'and is considered' is correct; 'considered' is properly used here.
Option 4: 'the biggest cities in Tamil Nadu' is correct in this context, as 'one of the biggest cities' is a common expression.
