Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence have errors, and some are correct. Find out which part of the sentence has an error. The number of that part is the answer. If a sentence is error-free, your answer is "No Error."
The Ph.D. degree was confide on him in the convocation.
(1) The Ph.D. degree
(2) him in the convocation.
(3) was confide on
(4) No Error
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The error lies in the third option "was confide on".
The error in the original sentence is in the use of the word "confide". The word "confide" means to tell someone a secret, which is incorrect in the context of the sentence. The word "confer" means to give someone a degree, award or honour, which fits in the sentence.
Therefore, the correct sentence is "The Ph.D. degree was conferred on him in the convocation".
