Identify the error in the sentence.

He made a quick shower before heading to the office.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Collocation Error: In English, certain nouns pair with specific verbs (called collocations). We do not "make" a shower; we take or have a shower.

Correct Sentence: "He took a quick shower before heading to the office" or "He had a quick shower before heading to the office."

Option (4) is the correct answer.
