English (CUET) Error correction

Directions: The given sentence has been broken up into four different parts. The error, if any, will be in any one part of the sentence. Select the option which contains the part of the sentence which has an error (spelling, grammatical or contextual). If there is no error, choose option E.

Weather scientists say (A) / the initial phase of the monsoon (B) / was marred by (C) / adverse climactic conditions (D) / No error (E)

Weather scientists say

the initial phase of the monsoon

was marred by

adverse climactic conditions.

No error

Explanation:

The error is in fragment D. The word ‘climactic’ which means ‘consisting of or causing a climax’ makes this sentence absurd.

The correct word to be used here is ‘climatic’ which means ‘of or relating to climate’.

The correct sentence would therefore be:

Weather scientists say the initial phase of the monsoon was marred by adverse climatic conditions.

Hence, option D is the correct answer.
