Attempted by 22 students.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Answer: The error is in the phrase "give him anything what he".
Correct phrasing: "give him anything that he wants" or "give him anything he wants".
Explanation:
The word 'what' is not used as a relative pronoun after 'anything' in this context. Use 'that' or omit the pronoun entirely.
Full correct sentence: "His father promised to give him anything that he wants if he passes the examination."
The other parts of the sentence are acceptable; the main grammatical fault is the incorrect relative pronoun in the highlighted phrase.
