The following sentence is divided into four parts and are given in the alternatives A, B, C, and D. Select that alternative which contains that part of the sentence which has an error. Selecting the part with the error is the answer.
Our bicycles are fully (A)/equipped, with head and (B)/ tail lights, gear shifts, a bell, (C)/ and even a air pump.(D)/
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The mistake lies in the use of the indefinite article 'a' before the word 'air.'
The Rule: Use 'a' before words that start with a consonant sound and 'an' before words that start with a vowel sound (a, e, i, o, u).
The Application: Since 'air' starts with a vowel sound, it must be preceded by 'an.'
Correct sentence should be
Our bicycles are fully equipped, with head and tail lights, gear shifts, a bell, and even an air pump.
