Grammar error

Hi All,

I was talking to a friend today, when he raised a very interesting observation. He said attimes wrong CR choice have grammatical mistakes also.
So, if one finds any problem with grammar in the answer choice, one can easily answer the Qs. Let me know your views on this point.

Hi,

That is an interesting fact. I never imagined that an answer choice is wrong because it is grammatically incorrect.
But I guess the exam creators will not induce grammatical errors in answer choices. Frankly, I would not rule out an answer choice because it is grammatically incorrect.

Probably any expert should comment on this issue.

Regards,
Chetan Sharma

Interesting observation!
But I agree with Chetan that it is not right to eliminate an answer choice in CR just because it may be grammatically incorrect.
Moreover, I guess we should not be spending time in CR questions looking for correct/incorrect grammer usage.

Ofcourse, insturctors are best to guide us here.
