Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: 1
Solution : The error lies in the first part of the sentence.
There is an error in the absence of the pronoun us in the sentence.
The pronoun us should be used after being told to convey the intended meaning that the social science teacher instructed the students to study the world map for a test.
The indirect object pronoun us should be used after the verb told to indicate to whom the teacher gave the instruction.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "Our social science teacher told us to study the map of the world for a test."
