Question

Direction: Read the sentence to find out whether there is any error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The number corresponding to that part will be your answer. If the given sentence is correct as it is, mark the answer as ‘No error’. Ignore the errors of punctuation if any.

A children (1)/ fell asleep (2)/ quickly after a (3)/ busy day of fun. (4)

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 3
• D. 4
• E. No error

Answer 1

The correct option is A 1

The error is in the first part of the sentence.
‘Children’ is a plural noun, therefore, we cannot use an indefinite article before it as indefinite articles are used only with singular nouns.
Hence, ‘a’ must be replaced with ‘the’ to make the sentence grammatically correct.
Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
