The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
Our plane / arrived at / the Mumbai airport / at the right time.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. the Mumbai airport.
When referring to specific airports by name, the definite article "the" is generally not used unless the name of the airport specifically includes it.
- "Mumbai airport" is a proper noun referring to a specific airport, and it does not require "the" before it.
- The use of "the" is typically reserved for names like "the London Heathrow Airport" or "the John F. Kennedy International Airport," where "the" is part of the full name.
Hence, the correct sentence is:- "Our plane arrived at Mumbai airport at the right time."
