The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
I caught / a white cat / rustling / beneath my room.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4, i.e., beneath my room.
Error Concept: The preposition “beneath” is incorrect with “room” in this context.
Grammar Explanation: “Beneath” suggests directly under something in a vertical sense (like “beneath the table”), but “room” is not normally used this way for an outdoor location. The correct phrase would be “beneath my window” (if looking outside) or “in my room” (if indoors).
Correction: I caught a white cat rustling beneath my window.
Final Sentence: I caught a white cat rustling beneath my window.
Conclusion: The segment with the error is “beneath my room.”
