Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is 'C' i.e. this part of the sentence has an error.
Key Points
- In the given sentence, the use of the phrase 'be able to' in part 'C' is not required or superfluous.
- The words ''can, could, be able to'' are used to talk about ability, awareness, and possibility and also to say that someone has permission to do something.
- Both 'can' and 'could' are followed by an infinitive (here, fix) without 'to'.
- Example: It was so dark you could not see anything.
- Therefore, the phrase 'be able to' should be removed from the sentence.
Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
Correct Sentence: After all of Rahul's childhood injuries she'd healed, she couldn't fix her own heart!
