Find the part of the sentence that contains an error
She has the rare ability of making complex theories sound simple and intuitively clear.
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (B) of making complex theories
Concept (Ability + To-Infinitive) Ability के बाद 'of' और gerund नहीं आता। इसके स्थान पर to + verb (infinitive) का प्रयोग होता है। अतः 'of making' के स्थान पर 'to make' आएगा।
✓ सही वाक्य: She has the rare ability to make complex theories sound simple and intuitively clear.
Examiner का जाल यह है कि 'of' के बाद V-ing रूप स्वाभाविक लगता है, इसलिए छात्र इस त्रुटि को स्वीकार कर लेते हैं।
Concept (Ability + To-Infinitive) Ability is not followed by 'of' and a gerund; it takes to + verb.
✓ Correct sentence She has the rare ability to make complex theories sound simple and intuitively clear.
Examiner's Trap A V-ing form after 'of' feels natural, so students accept 'ability of making'.
