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 the errors of punctuation, if any)

For the lakhs of Indians working aboard (a)/ and their families back home (b)/ in India, the sharp depreciation (c)/ in the local currency means profit. (d)/ No error (e)

Options:
A) For the lakhs of Indians working aboard
B) and their families back home
C) in India, the sharp depreciation
D) in the local currency means profit
E) No error 
Solution:
Ans: (a) The word ‘aboard’ is incorrect. 

Aboard (adverb, preposition) means on or onto a ship, aircraft, bus, or train.

Eg: "The plane crashed, killing all 158 people aboard"

The correction is ‘abroad’ which means 'in or to a foreign country'.

Eg (1) After her divorce she went to live abroad.

      (2)  He wanted the best for his children - good schools, a nice house and trips abroad.
