Choose the grammatically incorrect sentence from the following:

  1. I always encourage everyone to listen to the advice of their elders.
  2. He closely resembles with his father on facial features.
  3. There is no cause for anxiety right now.
  4. She was overwhelmed with grief upon hearing the sad news.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

'Resemble' is a transitive verb that takes a direct object without a preposition: 'He closely resembles his father.' Adding 'with' makes sentence 2 ungrammatical ('on facial features' is also unidiomatic; 'in facial features' would be preferred). The other sentences are grammatically correct.
