Identify the error in the following sentence.
Akash would be staying to his uncle’s place during the holidays.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. to.
The phrase 'staying to his uncle’s place' is incorrect because in English we use 'at' or 'with' when talking about staying at someone’s home, not 'to'.
Correct usage:
'staying at his uncle’s place' (referring to location)
'staying with his uncle' (referring to the person)
Why the other options are incorrect:
1. staying → This is correct in the context; it shows the action during the holidays.
2. would → Correct, it expresses a future-in-the-past or planned action.
4. during → Correct, it properly indicates the time period.
