Question

Identify the part of a sentence which is grammatically incorrect:

[A] The train is unusually late today
[B] for it has been announced just now
[C] that it will arrive in a hour
[D] on platform number three.

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D
• E. No Error

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

C

The given sentence talks about the unusually late arrival of a train. In part [C] of the sentence, we see the article 'a' being used before the word 'hour', which is incorrect. According to English grammar, 'hour' is pronounced with a silent 'h' and such words are preceded by article 'an' just like vowels are. Therefore, the incorrect part of the given sentence is part [C] and the correct answer is option (C).
