The manager discussed on the issue in detail. 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The original sentence is: "The manager discussed on the issue in detail."

Grammar Rule: The verb "discuss" is a transitive verb. Transitive verbs act directly upon an object without the need for a preposition like "on" or "about."

Error: Adding "on" or "about" after "discuss" is a common redundancy error.

Correction: Simply saying "discussed the issue" makes the sentence grammatically correct and concise.
