Q. All the members (1) / of the committee are (2) / kindly requested to appear (3) / in the next meeting. (4) / No Error (5)- Published on 31 Jan 17a. 1
b. 2
c. 3
d. 4
e. 5
ANSWER: 3
'Kindly' and 'Requested' are not used together.
'Kindly' and 'Please' are used in active voice to denote 'request';
while to denote 'kindly' and 'please' in passive voice, 'requested' is generally used.
e.g. (Active) Kindly/ Please help me.
(Passive) You are requested to help me.
The correct sentence should be: All the members of the committee are requested to appear in the next meeting.
Correct ways to use 'kindly' are: a kindly smile, a kindly thought, a kindly way, a kindly manner.
