Find the part of the sentence that contains an error:
He came across (1) / with an interesting article (2) / while browsing (3) / the newspaper(4).
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Correct Answer
with an interesting article (2)
Explanation
The error is in part (2) because the phrasal verb “came across” does not require the preposition “with.” It is directly followed by the object.
The correct sentence should be:
“He came across an interesting article while browsing the newspaper.”
Key Points
Error: Use of unnecessary preposition “with”
Correct structure: came across + object
Correct usage: came across an interesting article
