• (a)
• (b)
• (c)
• (d) No error

Hint:

Describe = no preposition. Say "describe something," not "describe about something."

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The given sentence is: "The teacher called Ravi and asked him to describe about the incident."

Let's analyze each part of the sentence:

1. (a) "The teacher called Ravi" - This section is grammatically correct.
2. (b) "and asked him" - This section is also grammatically correct.
3. (c) "to describe about the incident" - This section is incorrect. The word "describe" is a transitive verb, which means it does not need a preposition after it when used with a direct object. Hence, the correct usage should be "to describe the incident" without "about".
4. (d) The option "No error" is incorrect because there is an error in part (c) of the sentence.

Thus, the error is in part (c) of the sentence. The correct sentence should be: "The teacher called Ravi and asked him to describe the incident."

Correct Answer: (c)

Grammatical Rule: Verbs like "describe", "discuss", "tell", "order", "request", do not require a preposition "about" when they are used with a direct object.
