Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDF- The primary issue in the sentence is the incorrect use of the verb form "likes" after "does not."
- In English, when using "does not" (or "doesn't"), the base form of the verb should be used, which is "like" in this case.
- The correct phrase should be "does not like," ensuring grammatical correctness.
- Thus, the error is located in part 3 of the sentence.
- Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3.
- 1: "The new" – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.
- 2: "secretary" – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.
- 4: "me." – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.
- No error – This would be the correct option if there were no mistakes in the sentence, but there is an error in part 3.
