The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
It is his job / to chase out / clients with / outstanding debts.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. to chase out.
The grammatical error is in the phrase "to chase out" as it is not correct for this context.
"Chase out" means to forcefully remove someone from a place.
But in this sentence, it refers to dealing with clients who have outstanding debts, not physically removing them.
The correct phrase should be "chase up", which means to follow up with someone about an issue (like unpaid debts).
Corrected Sentence: It is his job to chase up clients with outstanding debts.
