Explanation:

because it is not agree with describe

Answer 2

Answer:

The corrected sentence would be "The teacher called Ravi and asked him to describe the incident".

Explanation:

• The word "about" must be removed as in the given sentence, it is redundant.
• The word "describe" already means to give a detailed account of something. Thus it doesn't need to be followed with the preposition "about".
• When using the phrase "describe about" the language becomes superfluous and unnecessary, the word "about" does not add to the meaning that the sentence is trying to convey.
• Other words with which similar mistakes are made are "repeat again", "discuss about" and "debate about", in all of these, the first word contains the meaning of the preposition that follows it.
