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

This jewellery box is made from silver and is an antique piece.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. is made from silver.

  • The error lies in the option 4 due to the wrong usage of preposition.
  • In the given sentence, the use of the preposition 'from' is incorrect.

  • The preposition 'from' is used for indicating the raw material out of which something is manufactured.

  • The preposition 'of' should be used in place of 'from' as it is used for indicating the material or substance constituting something.

The correct sentence will be:-

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4 i.e. is made from silver.
