The following sentence has been divided into parts. One of them contains an error. Select the part that contains the error from the given options.
You and I / have submitted / your work / on time.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. your work.
- The third part of the sentence is erroneous in nature.
- You and I show the collective effort made by two people.
- So, the use of 'your' reflects the erroneous use of the pronoun.
- Your is a possessive pronoun that must follow the second person 'you'. Hence, 'our' should be the correct usage of the pronoun here.
- Use of 'your' reflects the erroneous use of the possessive determiner before work.
The correct sentence is:
You and I have submitted our work on time.
