Question

The following passage has not been edited. There is one error in each line. Write the incorrect word and the correction in your answer sheet against the correct question number. remember to underline the word you have supplied. Question :- often these days we here and speak of the consciously

Answer 1

often these days we here and speak of the consciously -hear

Answer 2

Answer:

In the given sentence, error lies in two parts: 'here' and 'the'.

The corrected sentence should be:

'Often these days we hear and speak of it/them consciously'.

Explanation:

In the given sentence 'here' is the inappropriate usage as it indicates a place whereas the correct word should be 'hear', i.e. perceive or listen.

Again in the following part, 'the consciously' has been given, which makes no sense. Either an object has to be present after 'the' or it should be replaced by 'it' or 'them'.
