Back to paper

In the sentence identify the segment which contains the grammatical error.

It’s raining heavily, so you should take an umbrella, but you will get wet.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. but you will get wet.

  1. The error lies in this segment of the statement because of the wrong use of "Conjunction".
  2. We need to replace "But" with "else/otherwise" for making the statement grammatically correct.

Grammatical Concept:- 

  • The given statement is not a contradictory statement while it contains a suggestion.
  • As "else/otherwise" is used to express suggestion we need to replace "but" with "else/otherwise"
  • Hence, the chosen option will be correct.

The correct sentence will be- 

It’s raining heavily, so you should take an umbrella, else/otherwise you will get wet.
