Below a statement has been divided in five parts. The part in bold is fixed and contains no error. Among the other parts find the erroneous part. If it contains no error choose the 5th option (No error).
Not only does reading enhances a child’s (A)/ vocabulary, and to helps one understand how to read and write,(B)/ but reading aloud to children also helps them (C)/ to understand different topics about the world and every day life.(D)
The error in A is the verb 'enhances' which needs to be replaced with the verb 'enhance'.
The error in B is the preposition 'to' which needs to be eliminated to make the structure of the sentence correct. A sentence should maintain the symmetry thus the transitive form of the verb is incorrect here.
Correct sentence: Not only does reading enhance a child's vocabulary and helps one to understand how to read and write but reading aloud to children also helps them to understand different topics about the world and every day life.
Thus option 1 is the correct answer.$
