Question

**In each of the following statements, some phrases are highlighted which may or may not contain grammatical errors. Identify the pair of highlighted phrases that contain errors. If there is no error, select 'No error' as your answer.**

(A) This campaign was a failure as the Houthis (i) entrenched themselves in the north-west despite of the military and economic challenges (ii).

(B) The Anti-Bank Fraud Wing of the Central Crime Branch (CCB) have arrested two persons (iii) for taking loans from a private bank by (iv) producing fabricated documents.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. In sentence (A), the phrase **'despite of'** (ii) is incorrect. The correct usage is **'despite'** without 'of'. So, it should be 'despite the military and economic challenges'.

2. In sentence (B), the phrase **'have arrested'** (iii) is incorrect because the subject 'The Anti-Bank Fraud Wing' is singular (a unit/wing), so the verb should be singular: **'has arrested'**.

3. The other highlighted phrases (i) 'entrenched themselves', (iv) 'producing fabricated documents' are correct.

**Answer:** (ii) and (iii) contain errors, so option (c) is correct.
