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.

Mr. Thomas / is going / to buy / horse.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. horse.

  • The error is due to the missing article "a" before the noun "horse."
  • In English, singular countable nouns require an article (a, an, or the) or another determiner. Without the article, the sentence is grammatically incorrect.
  • Thus, the correct phrase should be "a horse."
