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".
It was fortunate (1) / all of the inmates escaped (2) / from the blazing fire. (3) / No error (4)
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.
The conjunction that should be used after the noun clause ("it was fortunate") to introduce the other clause in the sentence. Also, the use of the preposition "of" is not required and thus should be omitted to make the sentence grammatically accurate.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: It was fortunate that all the inmates escaped from the blazing fire.
