The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that
contains a grammatical error.
He used to reply / that the only place / for which he went / was the town library.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. for which he went.
- The third part of the given sentence is erroneous in nature. There lies an error of preposition.
- Thus, the preposition for should be replaced with a preposition 'to'.
- Preposition 'for' is used to talk about a purpose or a reason for something.
- Preposition 'to' is used to indicate the direction or destination of a particular place or something.
Thus, the correct sentence is:
He used to reply that the only place to which he went was the town library.
