Identify the part of the sentence that contains a grammatical error.
A. The book, B. which you recommended, C. was interesting and D. an easily read.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The error in section D is the use of the adverb "easily" to modify the past participle "read" (used as an adjective). The sentence requires an adjective to describe the book's quality, so it should be "an easy read". "Read" functions as a noun in the phrase "an easy read", meaning something that is easy to read.
