Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option C i.e. 3 o'clock's train.
- The error lies in part C of the statement because of the wrong use of the Apostrophe.
Concept-
- We need to replace "3 o'clock's train" with "3 o'clock train" for making the statement grammatically correct.
- As the train timing is a well-known thing and with the well-known thing we don't use an apostrophe.
- Such a thing is written without using an apostrophe.
The correct sentence will be-
I shall go by the 3 o'clock train.
