Identify the segment that contains the grammatical error.
Lack of formal education did not prevent Lincoln to become a great leader.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. to become.
Explanation:
The word ‘prevent’ takes the preposition ‘from’ with it.
When the preposition ‘from’ will be used, we have to use the gerund form of the verb also i.e. ‘from becoming’.
Hence, ‘to become’ should be replaced with ‘from becoming’ and the error is in option 4.
