English grammar error-spotting (case of personal pronouns + capitalization of days: identify the single erroneous segment): ‘‘Myself and Gopal / will take care of / the function on sunday. / No error.’

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Myself and Gopal

Explanation:


Given data & quick scan

  • A uses ‘‘Myself’’ as a subject pronoun.
  • C has ‘‘sunday’’ (lowercase) though proper nouns for days take capitals.


Concept/Approach
Reflexive forms (myself, yourself, himself, etc.) are not used as simple subjects. Correct is ‘‘Gopal and I’’. Also, write ‘‘Sunday’’ with a capital letter.


Step-by-step correction
A → ‘‘Gopal and I will take care of …’’C (stylistic fix) → ‘‘… the function on Sunday.’’


Common pitfalls

  • Beginning a compound subject with ‘‘Myself’’ or ‘‘Me’’ in formal English.
  • Forgetting to capitalize days and months.


Final Answer
Myself and Gopal
