Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error. If there is no error, select 'No error'.

Your ears are itching/ because you are having an / allergic reaction.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. No error.

  • The sentence "Your ears are itching because you are having an allergic reaction" is correct because it uses the present continuous tense, "are having," to describe an ongoing condition.
  • This tense is appropriate for indicating that the allergic reaction is currently occurring and causing the itching.
  • The structure effectively links the symptom (itching) to its cause (an allergic reaction), making the sentence both grammatically accurate and contextually clear.
