Read each sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical error in it. The error, if any will be in one part of the sentence. The letter of that part is the answer. If there is no error, the answer is (D). (Ignore the errors of punctuation, if any).

If you listen with (A) /the questions carefully (B) /you will be able to answer them easily. (C) / No error (D).

The correct answer is '1' i.e. A .

Key Points

• The phrase "If you listen with" in part (A) is incorrect.
• The correct preposition to use in this context is "to" instead of "with."
• The corrected sentence should read: "If you listen to the questions carefully, you will be able to answer them easily."

Correct sentence: If you listen to the questions carefully, you will be able to answer them easily.

Additional Information

• Usage of Prepositions: Prepositions are used to show the relationship between nouns or pronouns and other words in a sentence. Common prepositions for listening include:
  • "Listen to": Used when referring to paying attention to sounds or speech. Example: "Listen to the music."
  • "Listen with": Rarely used and refers to the instrument or method of listening. Example: "Listen with your headphones."
• In this context, "listen to" is the appropriate phrase because it indicates paying attention to the questions.
