The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
Babbal is / a oldest member / of our / Black Ice Club.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. a oldest member.
- The article 'a' used in 'a oldest member' is incorrect because we don't use the indefinite article 'a' before the superlative adjective 'oldest'.
- We use 'the' instead of 'a' when expressing the highest degree of comparison.
Corrected Sentence: Babbal is the oldest member of our Black Ice Club.
