SSC MTS - 03 May 2023 - Shift 1 • English • Q63

Find the part of the given sentence that has an error in it. If there is no error, choose 'No error'.

I ate a few brown rice this morning.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. I ate a few.

The error in the sentence is the use of "a few" with "brown rice." "Brown rice" is an uncountable noun, so it should be preceded by "some" instead of "a few."

The corrected sentence is: "I ate some brown rice this morning."
