The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
The mountain / seems to steep / for us / to climb.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. seems to steep.
- The second part of the given sentence is erroneous in nature.
- Always remember that after 'to' a verb is used in the present form that is "to + v1".
- Steep is an adjective used to measure the elevation of the mountain,
- Thus, "too" should be used after "seems" to indicate the level of steepness.
- This implies that "to" will be replaced by "too" to make the sentence free of error.
The correct sentence is:
The mountain seems too steep for us to climb.
