Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. out of your system.
- In the given sentence, the error lies in the wrong use of the preposition from.
- In the given sentence, the phrase 'out of' is nothing but a double preposition because both out and of are two single prepositions.
- As "out of", a preposition is already used, the use and placement of the preposition from is erroneous.
- It is a superfluous error.
Thus, the correct sentence is:
You need to get the cholesterol out of your system.
