Question

NIMCET 2009 — English PYQ

NIMCET | English | 2009

Which of the underlined parts in the sentence given below is a mistake which may need to be deleted or modified.
He can be able to pass the test in flyinq colours without any difficulties whatsoever.

Choose the correct answer:

Explanation

The Rule of Redundancy: In English grammar, the modal verb "can" already expresses capability or ability. Similarly, the phrase "be able to" also expresses ability.
Superfluous Expression: Using "can" and "be able to" together is redundant (superfluous). You should use one or the other, but never both in the same clause.
Corrected Versions:
- Option 1: "He can pass the test..."
- Option 2: "He will be able to pass the test..."
Other Parts:
- Flying colours: A correct idiom meaning with great success.
- Difficulties: Grammatically correct plural noun.
- Whatsoever: A correct intensifier used with negative statements.

Grammatical Formula:

The error can be represented by the following logical conflict:

\text{Correct} = \text{Subject} + (\text{can} \lor \text{be able to}) + \text{V1}

\text{Incorrect} = \text{Subject} + \text{can} + \text{be able to} + \dots
