Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. children’s little pockets, forget all on it.
- The last part of the given sentence is erroneous in nature.
- The phrase "forget all on it" is not grammatically correct because the verb "forget" requires the preposition "about" to indicate the thing that is being forgotten.
- The error in the segment is the preposition "on" that should be replaced by the preposition "about."
Therefore, the corrected sentence is:
He will make mistakes, but he will learn by making mistakes. So, dear parents, once you put the money in your children's little pockets, forget all about it.
