Option no. C (Question: 144419.2 )

Resigning the job should be correct...no preposition is used after resign

Question:
DIRECTIONS: Read each sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. Mark the part with the error as your answer. If there is no error, mark 'No Error' as your answer. (Ignore errors of punctuation, if any)
He assured quite categorically (a)/ that he had no Intention (b)/ of resigning from the job (c)/ at that point of time.(d)/ No error (e)
Options:
A) (a)
B) (b)
C) (c)
D) (d)
E) (e)
Solution:
Ans: (a) He assured quite categorically 

There’s a grammatical error in the sentence and it is in (a) in which the verb “assured” is used without a personal or grammatical object. The verbs “assured, promised, told” etc. demand a mandatory grammatical object to complete the grammatically acceptable sentence construction. A question arises as to who was assured and the sentence doesn’t give any indication of that. A noun or a pronoun should be used as the object of “assured.” The correction: He assured his friends …, he assured me…, he assured the manager… and so on.

Resign is a verb which means to give up a job or position by telling your employer that you are leaving, or voluntarily leave a job or office.
Eg: He resigned from the company in order to take a more challenging job.
He resigned from a high-profile job as economic adviser to the prime minister.
Although it is used without 'from' also in some cases
Eg: She resigned the directorship.
In the game of chess, you resign when you cannot see any way to avoid being beaten
Eg: He resigned a hopeless position.
