English Grammar - Spotting Errors
Choose the part of the sentence that is incorrect :
Keats is (A) / a quiet (B) / good poet (C) / among the romantic poets (D)
Options:
- A
- B
- C
- D
Right Answer: B
The sentence is divided as: Keats is (A) / a quiet (B) / good poet (C) / among the romantic poets (D). The error lies in part B. The word 'quiet' is an adjective meaning silent or making little noise, whereas the sense required here is 'fairly' or 'to a considerable degree', which is expressed by the adverb 'quite'. The correct sentence is therefore 'Keats is a quite good poet among the romantic poets.' Such pairs of similar looking words — quiet and quite, desert and dessert — are frequently tested. Hence the answer is B.
