Identify the segment in the sentence, which contains the grammatical error.
High level security arrangements were made for the forthcoming visit to a Japanese Prime Minister.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. visit to a.

  • As there is “a Japanese Prime Minister” a noun, we need to keep the verb of the statement in past tense.
  • Here preposition 'visit' is followed by a noun.Therefore, according to the noun 'visit of a' will be used here.
  • When using a preposition, you must always have the subject and verb before it, and follow it with a noun. You should never follow it with a verb!  
  • So, the chosen option will improve the sentence grammatically and contextually.

The correct sentence will be-
High level security arrangements were made for the forthcoming visit of a Japanese Prime Minister.
