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 Chief Minister had no time (1) / to pay attention (2) / on such simple matters. (3) / No error (4)
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.
The phrase "to pay attention on" is incorrect. We generally use "to pay attention to" when referring to the act of focusing on or giving consideration to something. So, "on" should be replaced with "to" to make the sentence grammatically accurate.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: The Chief Minister had no time to pay attention to such simple matters.
