The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error. He was / deprived from / his right to / his ancestral property.
Answer: B
The error is in 'deprived from'.
The correct phrase is 'deprived of', as in 'deprived of his right'. 'Deprived from' is not used.
'He was', 'his right to' and 'his ancestral property' are correct.
The verb 'deprive' always takes 'of', as in 'deprived of freedom'. The other prepositions in the sentence, 'to' in 'right to', are correct. This is a common error and is often tested.
