Multiple choice

Directions: Read each sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical error in it. The error, if any will be in one part of the sentence. The letter of that part will be the answer. If there is no error, mark (E) as the answer. (Ignore errors of punctuation, if any.)

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The pronoun 'them' incorrectly refers back to the singular noun 'car'. 'Car' is a singular countable noun, so it should be referred to with the singular pronoun 'it', not the plural 'them'. The correct phrase should be 'bragged about it' to agree with the singular antecedent 'car'.
