Question

Identify the error in the sentence given below:

After waking up in the morning, Mark has a glass of milk and a glass of orange juice, but he enjoys the latter more.

• A. the one
• B. it
• C. the beverage
• D. NO CHANGE

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

NO CHANGE

The pronoun is used in place of a noun. Here, the nouns are 'milk' and 'orange juice'. The suitable pronoun that refers to the first noun is 'the former' and that which refers to the second noun is 'the latter'. 'It' can be confusing because 'it' is the pronoun for both the nouns mentioned. Also, both milk and juice are beverages, so option C is incorrect. Therefore, the correct option here is: D) No change.
