Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDF- Segment A, "Aniket lives," is grammatically correct. It has a proper subject-verb agreement.
- Segment B, "in the small apartment," contains a minor article usage error. The correct usage should be "in a small apartment" since a specific apartment is not being referred to previously within a given context. We generally use 'the' when we are referring to specific things or instances that both the speaker and listener are aware of.
- Segment C, "in the suburbs," is grammatically correct as the usage of "in" is appropriate for indicating location.
- Therefore, the segment containing the error is B.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: 'Aniket lives in a small apartment in the suburbs'.Last updated on Jul 10, 2025
