Which one of the following parts of the sentence, “After a lot of argument I brought him forward to my point of view”, has an error?
General EnglishVocabulary
- AAfter a lot of argument
- BI brought him forward
- Cto my point of view
- DNo error
Explanation
The correct idiom is to bring someone round (or around) to one's point of view, meaning to persuade them. Brought him forward means advanced or produced someone, which makes no sense here. Hence the error lies in part B (I brought him forward), and the sentence should read I brought him round to my point of view.
