I succeeded persuading him (a) / to come with me (b) / only after hours of argument (c) / No Error (d)
(a)
The error in the sentence is in part (a)
- The correct form is "I succeeded in persuading him" instead of "I succeeded persuading him".
- The reason to use "in" after "succeeded" in part (a) is because it's the correct preposition to use with "succeeded" when describing an action or achievement.
- In English, we typically use "succeeded in" to indicate that an action was accomplished.
For example: "I succeeded in completing the project."
Hence, the Correct sentence is "I succeeded in persuading him to come with me."
