Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The error lies in the first part of the sentence.
Explanation:
There is an error in the use of the preposition in the sentence. The preposition "on" should be replaced with "at" to convey the intended meaning that Ashutosh seized the opportunity that was presented to him.
Leapt at means to grab an opportunity, which is the intended meaning here.
So, the correct sentence is: Ashutosh leapt at the opportunity that came his way.
