New: SSC Stenographer Application Form 2024 Released
Don't Miss: Month-wise current affairs
Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: from the
Solution : The error lies in the first option.
The error is in the use of the preposition "from". The correct preposition for expressing dedication to someone or something is "to". So, "dedicated to" is the correct phrase. The phrase "dedicated from" does not convey the intended meaning of showing honour or commitment to someone or something, in this case, the Sun god.
Therefore, the corrected sentence should be: The Konark temple is dedicated to the Sun god.
