Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. I said you.

  1. The error lies in option 2 because of the wrong use of "Preposition".
  2. We need to replace "Said" with "Said to" for making the statement grammatically correct.

Grammatical concept:- 

  • "Said" is always followed by the preposition "To".
  • The chosen option contains the Grammatical Error hence, it will be the correct choice.

Correct Sentence:-

I said to you to prepare the article yesterday but you didn’t.
