Appeared in: AIIMS Bhopal NO - 2018 (Shift-1st)

Explanation

• The error is in the phrase 'with a small restaurant'.
• The preposition 'with' incorrectly suggests accompaniment or association.
• To indicate the source or origin of the lunch (the restaurant), the correct preposition is 'from'.
• The correct phrase should be 'from a small restaurant'.

Why Other Options Were Wrong

• Option A: This option is incorrect because 'No error' implies the sentence is grammatically perfect, which is not the case due to the wrong preposition.
• Option B: The phrase 'On her way to the office' is a grammatically correct introductory prepositional phrase that sets the context for the main action.
• Option D: The phrase 'She gets her lunch packed' is a grammatically correct clause. It correctly uses the causative structure ('get' + object + past participle) to show that someone else is performing the action of packing the lunch for her.
