Question

Instructions [97-98]: Read each of the components of the given sentences and mark the component with the grammatical error.

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

• A. Only I
• B. Only II
• C. Only III
• D. Only IV

Hint:

Ask whether "brother" or "sister" is ever needed after the word "cousin."

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Read each component and ask if it duplicates a meaning already built into a word. "Cousin" in English already tells you the exact relationship, so tacking on "brother" or "sister" repeats that meaning instead of adding new information.

1. Option A: Correct. "My cousin brother" packs two labels for one relationship; usual English just says "my cousin."
2. Option B: Wrong. "In Goa, is eager to visit us" reads fine as written.
3. Option C: Wrong. "In Mumbai and aspires to have" links its clauses properly.
4. Option D: Wrong. "A glimpse of the city" needs no correction.

The redundant phrase sits in component I, so option A is correct.
