The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
Can you please / pass me a sweater? / It’s going to be / the cold day today.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. the cold day today.
"The cold day today" is incorrect because:
"Cold day" is a general description of the day's weather.
Using "the" before "cold day" makes it sound like we are referring to a specific cold day, but the sentence refers to the general weather.
Instead, we say "It’s going to be a cold day today".
