Instructions

Read each of the components of the given sentences and mark the component with grammatical error.

Question 98

I. My cousin brother, who lives
II. in Goa, is eager to visit us
III. in Mumbai and aspires to have
IV. a glimpse of the city

Solution

The phrase "my cousin brother" in component I contains a grammatical error. In standard English, "cousin" alone is sufficient to indicate a familial relationship, and adding "brother" is redundant and non-standard unless specifying gender, which is not necessary here. The correct phrasing would be "My cousin, who lives." The other components (II, III, IV) are grammatically correct.
