The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.

We thought / there was a good idea / to wear snow boots / before we stepped out.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. there was a good idea.

Given sentence: We thought / there was a good idea / to wear snow boots / before we stepped out.

As 'idea' is a singular object so the pronoun used should also be singular, so it should be used instead of there.

Correct sentence: We thought / it was a good idea / to wear snow boots / before we stepped out.
