The following sentence has been divided into parts. One of them may contain an error. Select the part that contains the error from the given options. If you don’t find any error, select ‘No error’ as your answer.

(a) Show me file/ (b) which has been given/ (c) to you by the lawyer . / (d) No error

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. (a) Show me file

Let’s examine each part:

(a) Show me file
Incorrect —
The noun 'file' is a singular countable noun, so it must be preceded by an article (like 'the', 'a', or 'that').
It should be: 'Show me the file'

(b) which has been given
 
Correct — This is a correct relative clause in the present perfect passive form.

(c) to you by the lawyer.
 Correct — This prepositional phrase correctly completes the sentence.

(d) No error
Because an error exists in part (a), this option is not correct.
