    Question

    In each of the questions, a sentence has been divided

    into four parts, one of which may contain an error. Identify that fragment and mark it as your answer. The words in bold are contextually and grammatically correct. Mark (E) if the sentence contains no error. The chief minister (A)/ must be complimented (B) / for his swift action against (C) / the offending official (D) / no error (E).
    A A Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B B Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E E Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    In part (B), the word "compliment" should be replaced with "complimented." "Compliment" is a noun that means a polite expression of praise or admiration. In this context, you are referring to praising or showing approval for the chief minister's swift action, which requires the past participle form of the verb "compliment," which is "complimented."
