ECAT English QUESTION #820
Question 1
Spot the error: 'The duties of the new secretary are (A)to answer the telephone, (B)to type letters, and (C)book (D)keeping.'
  • to answer the telephone
  • to type letters
  • book✔️
  • keeping
Correct Answer Explanation
The error is at (C). To maintain parallel structure with 'to answer' and 'to type', it should be 'to keep books' or 'bookkeeping' as one word. The list breaks parallelism at 'book keeping'.
