Parts of the following sentence have been underlined and given as options. Select the option that contains an error.
 

Policeman came to my village and asked about a person who burgled a house last night.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. policeman.

The error is in "Policeman" because policeman is a singular countable noun, which requires a determiner like a or the before it.

In English, singular countable nouns cannot stand alone without an article or another determiner.
