Directions: Read the sentence carefully to find out whether there is any grammatical or idiomatic error in it. The error will be in one part of the sentence. The number of that part is the answer.
(A) She aims (B) at competition (C) for the Olympic games (D) next year.
B
Correct answer
Explanation
There is no error
‘at competition’ is wrong. It should be ‘to compete’ as it suggests action which is the requirement here. ‘At’ suggests object, but in this sentence the object is in C) segment and the qualifier in D) segment. In A) ‘She’ is the subject while the rest of the sentence is part of the predicate and when ‘aim’ is used to suggest action, we say ‘aim to do something’ as in the present case. So, ‘she aims to compete for…’
