    Question

    This question consists of a sentence that is divided

    into four parts numbered (1) to (4). Only one part of the sentence is not acceptable in standard written English. Identify the part that contains an error.
    A Although he is known Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B to only a few, but his Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C reputation among Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D them is very great. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The conjunction "but" is unnecessary here.The word "although" already introduces a contrast, so using "but" creates redundancy.The correct sentence should be: "Although he is known to only a few, his reputation among them is very great."
