In these questions some of the sentences have errors and some have none. Find out which part of a sentence has an error and indicate it corresponding to the appropriate letters. If there is no error, indicate corresponding to the last option.
The professor asked the student (a) / to what district (b) / he came from. (c) / No Error (d)
Option 1: a
Option 2: b
Option 3: c
Option 4: d

Solution : There is an error in the part "b"therefore the correct option 2.
Explanation:
Instead of using " to what" we need to use "which"
When there are only a few possible replies, we utilise "which". When the range of possible solutions is not constrained, we utilise "what" more frequently.
Hence the correct statement is
