Choose the sentence that contains an error.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. I need to buy an new iPhone.
Error is related to: Use of article with adjective + noun.
What is wrong: The use of article “an” before the word “new” is incorrect.
Grammatical concept:
“An” is used before words starting with a vowel sound. "New" begins with a consonant sound /n/, so the correct article is “a”.
Correct phrase: a new iPhone
Final sentence: I need to buy a new iPhone.
