Back to paper

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

Buses run from this bus stand every few minutes because you shall not have to wait.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. because you shall.

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

Grammatical concept:- 

  • "So" is used to show the results of an action, while "because" is used to show the cause of an action. I have to study all weekend, so I can pass my exam. When I am upset I listen to music, so I can relax.
  • The given statement shows the result of the action hence, "So" will be the correct conjunction here.
  • The chosen option contains the Grammatical Error hence, it will be the correct choice.

Correct Sentence:-

Buses run from this bus stand every few minutes so you shall not have to wait.
