    Question

    Each sentence given below has been divided into four

    options A, B, C, D one of which is erroneous. Identify the erroneous part and mark that option as your answer. 
    A Hardly she likes (A) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B to hear my name (B) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C after the dispute which occurred (C) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D between us last year (D) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    "Hardly does she like to hear my name after the dispute which occurred between us last year."   Explanation:   The correct structure is "Hardly does she like," and the preposition "to" should be followed by the direct object "hear my name." It is because when a sentence begins with an adverb the subject and the verb go inverse. Therefore, the error is in part (B).
