He refused to change his decision; he refused it point out.
- (a)He refused to change
- (b)his decision;
- (c)he refused it point out.
- (d)No error
Correct — C, 'he refused it point out.'. This segment is ungrammatical — 'refused it point out' has no valid structure; it should read something like 'he refused point-blank' (flatly) or 'he refused to point it out'. As printed, segment (c) contains the error.
- (a)He refused to change — Error-free — 'refuse to + verb' is the correct pattern.
- (b)his decision; — Error-free — 'change his decision' is fine and the semicolon properly links the two related clauses.
- (d)No error — Cannot be chosen, because segment (c) is clearly faulty.
This is an error-spotting item — the jumbled phrase 'refused it point out' is grammatically broken and marks the error.
