Which part has an error?This is (a) / the time of (b) / the year where (c) / the birds came (d) / to eat the crops. All correct (e)
-
a
-
b
-
c
-
d
-
e
The error lies in part c, where the relative adverb 'where' is incorrectly used to refer to a time ('the year'). The correct word for time is 'when', making 'the year when' the proper grammatical structure.
To answer this question, let's go through each option to understand why it is correct or incorrect:
Option A) a - This option is correct because "This is" is a complete sentence.
Option B) b - This option is incorrect because "the time of" should be followed by a specific time or event. For example, "the time of year" or "the time of the party." So, the correct phrase should be "the time of the year."
Option C) c - This option is correct because "where" is used to indicate a location, which is appropriate in this context.
Option D) d - This option is correct because "came" is the past tense form of the verb "come," which is appropriate in this context.
Option E) e - This option is correct because it states that there are no errors in the sentence.
The correct answer is B. This option is incorrect because it contains an error in the sentence. The correct phrase should be "the time of the year" instead of "the time of year."
