Question

    In the below question, a sentence is given, divided

    into five parts (A), (B), (C), (D) and (1). There is an error in one of the parts, which makes the sentence grammatically or contextually incorrect. Choose the option with the part containing error. Consider part (1) to be correct. Astronauts' days on the (1)/ International Space Station are scheduled (A)/ and scripted to the minute, (B)/ and plenty of the work, (C)/like station maintenance, can be quite bored. (D)
    A C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C A Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D B Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    In parts C and D, the sentence tells us that much of the work at the International Space Station can be monotonous. 'Boring' is the adjective to be used in part D, in place of 'bored', another adjective. This is because 'boring' here refers to the work and 'bored' is used with person(s). Option B is the right answer.
