The approach

Steps to be followed while solving MU questions:

  • If the word is used as a noun or an adjective the error would be with the usage of articles [so check the placement or the usage of the article]
  • If the word is used  as a verb the error would be with the usage of prepaositons [especially phrasal verbs : you need to go through a list of phrasal verbs for the same]
