Directions: Each item in this section has a sentence with three underlined parts labelled (a), (b) and (c). Read each sentence to determine whether there is an error in any underlined part and indicate your response on the answer sheet against the above-mentioned corresponding letter. If there is no error, indicate your response as (d).
(a) The visiting school children
(b) went around the lake
(c) during trip to the famous lake city.
(d) No error
- AThe visiting school children
- Bwent around the lake
- Cduring trip to the famous lake city.
- DNo error
Explanation
Part (c) reads "during trip to the famous lake city", but the singular countable noun "trip" requires a determiner — "during a trip" or "during the trip". Omitting the article is ungrammatical. Parts (a) and (b) are correct: "the visiting school children" and "went around the lake" are both well-formed. The error is therefore in (c).
