Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe erroneous part is option 4) i.e. 'work.'
Key Points
- The error lies in the part 'work.'
- We can note that the preposition 'of' is used before the word 'work,' which is a verb.
- The word that must come after 'of' should be the object of the preposition 'of'. Hence, a gerund (working) must be placed after it.
- A gerund is a verb that ends in '-ing' and functions as a noun or object.
- Therefore we need to use the gerund form of the verb 'work' which is 'working' after the preposition 'of.'
- Therefore in the given sentence, we need to use 'working' in place of 'work' to make the sentence grammatically correct.
- Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
Correct sentence: Has Gita any previous knowledge of working with junior colleagues?
