In the sentence identify the segment which contains the grammatical error.
We had to decline several orders in case that the production was held up due to labour strike.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. in case that.
Explanation:
- The error is due to the fragment ‘in case that’. It is a preposition and used in sentences like please do not use a lift in case of fire.
- The option ‘in case that' is a conditional statement and as the event has already occurred, there is no point using a conditional statement here.
- Here, we can use a connector to depict a cause and effect relationship like ‘as’ or ‘because’.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
