Back to paper

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

The errors for the typed reports were so numerous that they could hardly be overlooked.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. errors for.

  1. The error lies in option 4 because of the wrong use of "Preposition".
  2. We need to replace "For" with "In" for making the statement grammatically correct.

Grammatical concept:- 

  • "For" is used to show purpose or reason while "In" is used to shows that something contains something.
  • In the given statement, "Reports" contains the error hence, "In" will be the correct use of the preposition here.
  • The chosen option contains the Grammatical Error hence, it will be the correct choice.

Correct Sentence:-

The errors in the typed reports were so numerous that they could hardly be overlooked.
