In the given question, a sentence is divided into four parts. There are errors in three parts. Choose the part which doesn’t have an error. If all the four parts are correct, mark E, i.e. ‘All are correct’ as the answer.
Aside by his solemn expression, (A)/ there were nothing in the way he acted (B)/ with the children that might indicate (C)/ anything was wrong among them. (D)
Explanation:
Out of the given parts, only part C is correct. Part A is incorrect because of the preposition ‘by’ after ‘aside’. ‘Aside’ takes the preposition ‘from’ meaning ‘apart from’. Part B is incorrect because it violates subjectverb agreement. ‘Anything, everything, nothing and something’ are always singular and requires a singular verb. Therefore, ‘were’ must be replaced with ‘was’ to make the sentence correct. Part D is erroneous because of the presence of ‘among’. We use between to refer to two things which are clearly separated. We use among to talk about things which are not clearly separated because they are part of a group or crowd or mass of objects. Hence, ‘between’ must be used instead of ‘among’. Therefore, only part C is error-free.
