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

Does he like to go for sightseeing when he is in holiday?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. in holiday?.

  1. The error lies in option 3 because of the wrong use of "Preposition".
  2. We need to replace "In" with "On" for making the statement grammatically correct.

Grammatical concept:- 

  • "On holiday" is the correct use of the preposition.

For example:-

  • He's on holiday in Africa, hunting for animals.
  • She deputizes for me as general manager while I am on holiday.
  • We rang Duncan to ask where he was going on holiday.
  • The chosen option contains the Grammatical Error hence, it will be the correct choice.

Does he like to go for sightseeing when he is on holiday?
