Select the grammatically correct sentence.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. The secondary section of the school is located at the end of the street.
Error concept: Incorrect article usage in other options.
What is wrong:
-
“an end of the street” – incorrect; should use “the end” for a specific street.
-
“a school … a street” – too vague; context implies a specific school and street.
-
“a school … the street” – mix of indefinite and definite articles creates inconsistency.
Grammatical concept:
-
Use “the” when referring to specific nouns already known or previously mentioned.
-
The phrase “the end of the street” correctly identifies a specific location.
Incorrectness of the concept in context: Using “a” instead of “the” makes the sentence ambiguous or grammatically awkward.
How to correct: Use “the” for both the school and the street to specify them.
Correct phrase/ correction: the secondary section of the school … the end of the street
Final sentence: The secondary section of the school is located at the end of the street.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
