The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains an error.
The principal gave up / the prizes to / the winners on / Republic Day.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. The principal gave up.
The phrase "gave up" means to abandon or stop trying, which doesn’t fit the context of giving prizes. The correct phrase should be "The principal gave" (without "up").
Thus, the corrected sentence is:
"The principal gave the prizes to the winners on Republic Day."
