Best answer 17 votes 17 votes According to the question, in given sentence part II is a grammatical error. it should be 'ordered' instead of 'ordered to'. The professor ordered the students to go out of the class. Explanation: Use of 'ordered' http://sentence.yourdictionary.com/ordered You should use 'ordered to' when someone is issuing a command. For example, I was ordered to order a pizza. This means that someone instructed you to order a pizza.

"to" is grammatically incorrect here. But, tell me one thing. Whose property is "to" here? "ordered to" or "to the students"? All, I am worried is whether that underline of II & III will be clearly visible in the question paper to see clearly which line the "to" is lying on. So that there will be no ambiguity. 0 votes 0 votes Please log in or register to add a comment.
