Identify the segment in the sentence which contains a grammatical error.
The small cafe at the end of the road is her.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. is her.
- The error lies in the option 2 due to the wrong usage of pronoun.
-
The possessive pronouns are: my, our, your, his, her, its, and their.
-
There's an independent form of each of these pronouns mine, ours, yours, his, hers, its, and theirs.
-
Independent possessive pronouns (also called absolute possessive pronouns) must be used without a noun.
-
As per the rule given above, 'hers' will be used instead of 'her' in the sentence.
The correct sentence will be:-
The small cafe at the end of the road is hers.
Hence, the correct answer is Option 2 i.e. is her.
