In the given question, a sentence is divided into four parts and given in the alternatives (A), (B), (C), and (D). There is an error in one part. Choose the alternative containing that part of the sentence that has the error. Choosing the alternative with the error will be the answer.
The guest asked for a glass of water to drink in arrival.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The phrase "in arrival" is grammatically incorrect in this context.
The preposition "in" is used incorrectly with the noun "arrival."
It should be replaced with "on" or "upon".
"On arrival" or "upon arrival" is standard idiomatic expressions meaning "at the time of arriving."
Correct Sentence: "The guest asked for a glass of water to drink on arrival."
