According to one survey
only those forests which were
not under village management
succumbed from fires recently E. No error
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: E. No error
The sentence is grammatically correct. The word “only” is used to introduce a restrictive clause, which is a clause that limits the meaning of the noun or pronoun it modifies. In this case, the restrictive clause is “which were not under village management.” This clause tells us which forests succumbed to fires recently: only those forests that were not under village management.
The word “succumbed” means “to give way to pressure or persuasion.” In this sentence, it means that the forests burned down.
The word “recently” means “in the recent past.” In this sentence, it tells us that the fires happened recently.
Therefore, the sentence is grammatically correct and does not contain any errors.
