The following sentence has been divided into four parts. One of them contains an error. Select the part that contains the error from the given options.
The earth / revolves / around / a sun.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. a sun.
- The error is in the use of the article 'a' before 'earth.'
- Indefinite article 'A' is used when referring to a non-specific item or an item for the first time.
- Definite Article 'the' is used when referring to a specific item that has already been mentioned or is known to both the speaker and the listener.
- When referring to 'sun' should be preceded by the definite article 'the' rather than the indefinite article 'a.'
- The definite article 'the' is used to specify a particular item, in this case, the Sun.
- The correct statement will be 'the earth revolves around the sun.'
