The following sentence has been divided into four segments. Identify the segment that contains an error in the usage of indefinite articles.
We took / an ice / and applied it on / the wound.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. an ice.
- The error lies in the use of the indefinite article 'an' before 'ice,' which is incorrect because 'ice' is uncountable and cannot be preceded by 'an.'
- Instead, it should be 'some ice,' which is appropriate for uncountable nouns. The other segments are correct.
