Identify the segment in the given sentence which contains the grammatical error.
Employees were given incentives based at their performance.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3. i.e. based at.
- The preposition "on" should be used after "based" to indicate the relationship between the incentives and the employees' performance.
- The correct phrase "based on their performance" shows that the incentives are dependent or determined by how well the employees performed.
- Using "at" instead of "on" is incorrect and results in a grammatical error.
Thus, the corrected sentence would be: Employees were given incentives based on their performance.
