RBI Assistant 2026 · Question 33 of 200
Error Spotting
Correct answer: (c) (a) She would rather to forfeit her claim than drag the dispute into litigation. Rule: “would rather + base verb (without ‘to’)” Correct structure: She would rather forfeit her claim than drag the dispute into litigation. Analysis: “to forfeit” is incorrect after “would rather”. Example: I would rather stay home than go out. (b) The magistrate along with his clerks were seated when the hearing resumed. Rule: Subject-verb agreement → “along with” does not change the subject Subject = “The magistrate” (singular) → verb should be “was” Correct structure: The magistrate along with his clerks was seated… Analysis: “were” is incorrect. Example: The teacher along with students was present. (c) He admitted to forging the signature on the lease agreement knowingly. Rule: “admit to + gerund (-ing form)” Analysis: Correct structure and meaning; no grammatical or contextual error. Example: She admitted to stealing the money. (d) Every one of the cadets are obligated to report at dawn for physical training. Rule: “Every one” is singular → takes singular verb Correct structure: Every one of the cadets is obligated… Analysis: “are” is incorrect. Example: Every one of the players is ready. (e) All are incorrect Incorrect because sentence (c) is correct. Final takeaway: Only sentence (c) is correct; others have clear grammatical errors.
