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 reason for (1) / my absence is (2) / due to ill health. (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 sentence contains redundant phrasing, as "the reason for" and "due to" should not be used together. Replace due to ill health with ill health to convey the same meaning more concisely.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The reason for my absence is ill health."
