Find the part of the given sentence that has an error in it. If there is no error, choose 'No error'. Whether or not an (1)/unpleasant scent will linger (2)/depends at several factors (3)/.No error (4)
Answer: C
In the sentence, part (3), 'depends at several factors', has the error: the verb depends takes the preposition on, so it should read 'depends on several factors'. Part (1), 'Whether or not an', and part (2), 'unpleasant scent will linger', are correct. Since there is an error, 'No error' is wrong. The answer is part 3, option (C). The phrase depend on is the fixed combination, as in 'it depends on the weather', and no other preposition is used with it.
