Back to paper

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

He wanted to know / the reason / why his low score / in Mathematics.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. why his low score

  • The phrase "why his low score" is incomplete. It should be "why his score was low" to properly complete the thought.

  • The correct phrase should be "why his score was low in Mathematics."

So, the corrected sentence would be: "He wanted to know the reason why his score was low in Mathematics."
