EnglishSpotting Errors
- A(a)
- B(b)
- C(c)
- D(d) No error
Explanation
The error is in part (a): ‘equipment’ is an uncountable noun and has no plural form — ‘equipments’ is incorrect; it should be ‘This equipment’ or ‘These pieces of equipment’. Parts (b) and (c) are correct. Hence the error is in (a).
