The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
The couple / preferred to walk / until the last house / of the town.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. until the last house.
Until the last house contains an error.
The use of "until" about a specific location ("the last house") is incorrect.
When referring to a time, "until" usually means "up to the point in time."
In this instance, the appropriate preposition to use when referring to a physical location is "up to," which accurately expresses the idea of proceeding to a specific point.
It should be as follows instead of this: "The couple preferred to walk up to the last house of the town."
