Question

The following sentence has been split into segments. Identify the segment that contains an error. If you don’t find any error, mark ‘No error’ as your answer.

People admired him, for / he lived by the same principals / that he preached.

Accepted Answer

The error is in the segment 'he lived by the same principals'. The word 'principals' is incorrect here. The correct word should be 'principles', which means fundamental truths or beliefs. 'Principals' refers to heads of schools or main persons, which does not fit the context. Therefore, the correct segment with error is 'he lived by the same principals'.
