Identify the part of the sentence that contains an error: I would prefer to stay home rather than going out tonight.
Correct Answerसही उत्तर
C. rather than going out tonight
Explanationव्याख्या
Parallel structure should be maintained.
With “prefer to stay,” the corresponding form after “rather than” should be the base infinitive “go.” Correct: I would prefer to stay home rather than go out tonight.
Parallelism के अनुसार “to stay” के साथ दूसरे भाग में भी समान verbal pattern होना चाहिए। इसलिए “rather than going” के स्थान पर “rather than go” होगा।
