Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe erroneous part of the sentence is: unless one doesn’t go
Key Points
- The error here lies in the third part of the sentence.
- Replace "doesn't go" with "goes" to correct the sentence.
- The conjunction 'Unless' means except on the condition that or under any other circumstance than.
- So, we cannot use a negative word after 'unless' as it conveys a negative meaning itself.
- Also, 'goes' will be used as the subject is singular.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 2 which contains an error in it.
Corrected sentence: One can never imagine how hot it gets in Delhi unless one goes there in person.
