Back to paper

Identify the segment in the sentence which contains a grammatical error.

I saw several / French colonial villas / within my visit / to Puducherry.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. within my visit

  • The phrase "within my visit" is incorrect because "within" is not the right preposition to describe the time frame of a visit.

  • The correct preposition to use is "during," making the phrase "during my visit."

So, the corrected sentence should be: "I saw several French colonial villas during my visit to Puducherry."
