Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence may have some errors. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If the sentence is free from error, select "No error".

The teacher prevented (1) / the boys (2) / to go there. (3) / No error (4)

Option 1: (1)

Option 2: (2)

Option 3: (3)

Option 4: (4)

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

The verb prevent should be followed by the gerund form and not the infinitive form "to go" to make the sentence grammatically accurate and convey the intended meaning that the teacher didn't let the students go there.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: The teacher prevented the boys from going there.
