In the sentence identify the segment which contains the grammatical error.
Across his morning walk on a beach in Mamallapuram, Prime Minister Modi was seen picking up plastic litter, bottles, and other items.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Across his morning walk.
The error occurs because of the wrong use of the preposition.
Concept-
- We need to replace 'across' with 'during' for making the statement grammatically correct.
- 'Across' exppresses 'position', 'place' or 'orientation'.
- The sentence mentions the period of time when the PM was doing something.
- For indicating a period of time, 'during' is used.
- So we need to use 'during' at the place of 'across'.
The correct sentence will be-
During his morning walk on a beach in Mamallapuram, Prime Minister Modi was seen picking up plastic litter, bottles, and other items.
