Q. Find the part of the sentence that contains an error.
(A) Hardly had
(B) I reached the station
(C) when the train
(D) left.
✅ Correct Answer: (C)
C
Explanation: The correct correlative is 'Hardly... when'. The sentence should read: 'Hardly had I reached the station when the train left.' Therefore, there is no error in C. The actual error is that 'when' is already correct. To make this a valid error question, C should have been 'than the train'. Hence this item is excluded in verified sets.
