The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
During an earthquake, / it is advised to take / cover above a table / to save your life.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. cover above a table.
- The sentence is divided into four segments, and the error is in segment three, which says "cover above a table."
- This segment has a grammatical error because it does not use the correct preposition.
- The correct preposition to use in this sentence is "under" rather than "above." The correct segment would be "cover under a table."
Therefore, the corrected sentence would be:
"During an earthquake, it is advised to take cover under a table to save your life."
