The given sentence is divided into four segments. Select the option that has the segment with a grammatical error.
The class / teacher was / wounded in / a leg.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. a leg.
The definite article "the" is used with singular body parts to specify which part of the body is affected, as it is clear from the context which leg is being referred to.
Using "a leg" implies ambiguity or an unusual situation where the leg is not identified as belonging to the person. Therefore, the correct phrasing is: "wounded in the leg."
