Back to paper

Identify the segment in the sentence which contains the grammatical error from the given options.
My friend has started a restaurant in a wooden big building in Manali.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2, i.e. in a wooden big building

  • The correct order of adjectives in English is generally "opinion, size, age, shape, color, origin, material, purpose." In this case, the adjectives "wooden" and "big" are used to describe the building.

  • However, the correct order would be "big wooden building" instead of "wooden big building."

Therefore, the correct version of the sentence would be:

My friend has started a restaurant in a big wooden building in Manali.
