Back to paper

Identify the segment in the sentence, which contains the grammatical error.
To write a poem I need a pen, a diary and also the quiet place.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. and also the.

  • The error lies in part 3 of the statement because of the wrong use of parallelism.
  • As all the objects used in the statement are followed by the article "a" we need to use "A" at the place of "the" as well.
  • Hence, we need to replace THE with A for making the statement grammatically correct.

The correct sentence will be-

 To write a poem I need a pen, a diary and also a quiet place.
