The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains an error.
One of the great rivers / of China, a Hwang Ho, / originates from the / eastern face of Tibet.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. of China, a Hwang Ho.
The error lies in the article “a” before “Hwang Ho.”
Hwang Ho (also spelled Huang He) is a proper noun (the name of a specific river), so it should be preceded by the definite article “the”, not 'a'.
Correct phrase:
“of China, the Hwang Ho,” (not “a Hwang Ho”)
