Find the part of the sentence that contains an error:
We discussed (1) / the project (2) / in very details (3) / during the meeting (4).
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Correct Answer
in very details (3)
Explanation
The error is in part (3) because “details” is a plural noun, but it is incorrectly used with “very” and the preposition “in.” The correct phrase is “in great detail,” where “detail” is used in singular form as an uncountable noun.
The correct sentence should be:
“We discussed the project in great detail during the meeting.”
Key Points
Error: Incorrect use of “details” and phrase structure
Rule: The correct idiom is “in great detail” (not “in very details”)
Correct usage: in great detail
