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.
Let us, at any rate, / give him / an outline out the case, / and hear what he has to say.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. “an outline out the case,”
The error lies in the phrase “an outline out the case.”
The correct expression should be “an outline of the case” and not “out the case.”
Here, “of” correctly shows the relation between the outline and the subject (“the case”), whereas “out” is a mistake—likely a typing or word‑choice error.
Why the other parts are correct:
“and hear what he has to say.” — This part is grammatically correct and clearly expresses a purpose.
“Let us, at any rate,” — Proper introductory phrase, with commas correctly placed.
“give him” — Perfectly acceptable as the verb and object phrase in the sentence.
