Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is '1' i.e. We discussed about the problem so thoroughly .
Key Points
- The error lies in Part (A) of the sentence: "We discussed about the problem so thoroughly."
- The verb "discuss" does not require the preposition "about". The word "discuss" inherently means to talk about something in detail, so adding "about" is redundant and incorrect.
- The correct phrase should be "We discussed the problem so thoroughly."
Correct sentence: We discussed the problem so thoroughly on the eve of the examination that I found it very easy to solve it.
Additional Information
- Some other verbs that do not require the preposition "about" include: mention, explain, order, describe, etc.
- For example:
- Incorrect: She explained about the project.
- Correct: She explained the project.
