It only says when he was young which doesn't really mean a child. I think the sentence has no error as such.

But here we discussed about the boy who is small so we can say that he was looked by after by his aunt.

But vertika I think here young means not adult one, so he needs to be looked after by his aunt.

@Swapnil.

Its correct. I thought the same. How many arun's there? Friends reply for it.

I think 'he was looking for' is more correct than 'he was looked after' correct sentence.

In option A, we can consider using "but" instead of "and" which justifies the statement.

I don't find any error in this sentence. Explanation has totally changed the meaning.

Nandhini said:   1 decade ago
The answer should be C. Because in that they use had, i.e., she had no children.

Apoorva said:   9 years ago
In option c "who had no children" instead of had if I put has, is it correct?

Kiran said:   1 decade ago
Can anyone explain please? When to use 'by' as per the above statement?
