Directions: In the question below a sentence with four words printed in bold type is given. These are lettered as (a), (b), (c) and (d). One of these four words printed in bold may be either wrongly spelt or inappropriate in the context of the sentence. Find out the word which is wrongly spelt or inappropriate. The letter of that word is your answer. If all the words printed in bold are correctly spelt and also appropriate in the context of the sentence, mark (e) i.e. 'All Correct' as your answer.
(a) We have incurred/ (b) an expense/ (c) of over fifty thousands/ (d) this year alone/ (e) No error
The phrase 'fifty thousands' is grammatically incorrect when preceded by a specific number. It should be 'fifty thousand' because numbers like hundred, thousand, and million do not take an 's' when they are preceded by a numeral.
