4 Parts of the following sentence have been given as options. Select the option that contains an error.
The police told the agitators to back in, else they would lathi-charge.

Question

Accepted Answer

The error is in the phrase 'lathi-charge'. 'Lathi-charge' is a noun or verb phrase referring to a police baton charge. It is not used as a verb in this form. The correct phrase should be 'else they would lathi-charge them' or 'else they would resort to a lathi-charge'. Also, 'back in' is incorrect; the correct phrase is 'back off' or 'fall back'. However, since the question asks to select the option containing an error, the most obvious error is in 'lathi-charge' as it is used incorrectly as a verb without an object.
