The following sentence has been divided into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
My sister, Juliet, / got married / as her / was 23.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. as her.
Error concept: Incorrect use of a pronoun after conjunction ('as').
What is wrong: The phrase 'as her was 23' is grammatically incorrect because 'her' is an object pronoun, whereas a subject pronoun is required before a verb.
Grammatical concept: After 'as', when referring to someone doing something or being something, the subject pronoun (e.g., she) should be used.
How to correct: Replace 'her' with 'she'
Correct phrase: as she was 23
Final sentence: My sister, Juliet, got married as she was 23.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
