Parts of the following sentence are given as options. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
Ramprasad has not been able to come to work since a week due to fever.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. since a week.
The segment with the grammatical error is "since a week"
"Since" is used to indicate a point in time starting from a specific date or time up to the present, e.g., "since Monday" or "since 2020."
"For" is used to indicate a duration of time, e.g., "for a week" or "for two hours."
So the corrected sentence should be "Ramprasad has not been able to come to work for a week due to fever."
