Identify the error in the following sentence:
Despite the intricate tapestry of / cultural influences, the festival’s / vibrant, musical, and tasteful choreography / performances left the audience mesmerized.
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (A) vibrant, musical, and tasteful choreography
Concept (Parallel Adjective Series: Vibrant, Musical, Tasteful) के अनुसार किसी Adjective-श्रृंखला (series) के सभी शब्द एक ही प्रकार का गुण बताएँ और Noun के साथ तार्किक रूप से जुड़ें। यहाँ 'vibrant, musical, and tasteful' के बाद 'choreography' और फिर 'performances' लिखने से Noun दोहराया गया है, और श्रृंखला समानांतर (parallel) नहीं रहती।
शुद्ध रूप 'vibrant, musical and tasteful performances' या 'vibrant choreography and musical performances' होगा।
शेष भाग शुद्ध हैं। प्रश्न में त्रुटि का प्रकार पूरी तरह स्पष्ट नहीं है, फिर भी विकल्प 1 सबसे उपयुक्त उत्तर है।
Examiner का trap: 'tasteful' को 'musical' के समान प्रकार का गुण न मानना और छिपे हुए दोहराव को न पहचानना ही इसका trap है।
Concept (Parallel Adjective Series: Vibrant, Musical, Tasteful): the adjectives in a series must all describe the same kind of quality and must fit the noun logically. Here, after 'vibrant, musical, and tasteful' comes 'choreography' and then 'performances', so the noun is repeated and the series is not parallel.
The correct form would be 'vibrant, musical and tasteful performances', or 'vibrant choreography and musical performances'.
The other segments are correct. The type of error in the question is not entirely clear, but option 1 is the most suitable answer.
Exam trap: failing to see that 'tasteful' is not the same kind of quality as 'musical', and missing the repeated noun.
