Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2. i.e. at five on the morning.
- The segment that contains a grammatical error is segment 4: "at five on the morning.
- "The correct way to express the time of day in English is "in the morning" or "in the evening," not "on the morning" or "on the evening."
- This sentence indicates that they need to wake up at 5 am, and uses the correct preposition "in" to indicate the time of day.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be:
"They will go to bed early since they have to get up at five in the morning."
