Sentence Error Identification
The task is to carefully read the given sentence and identify if there is any grammatical error in one of its parts. We need to evaluate each segment (A, B, C, D) for correctness.
Parts of the Sentence:
- Part (A): Too my surprise
- Part (B): I saw two
- Part (C): strangers coming out
- Part (D): of my house.
- Part (E): No error
Explanation: 'Too' vs 'To' Usage
Let's focus on Part (A), which states "Too my surprise".
We need to understand the difference between the words 'Too' and 'To'.
- 'Too' is an adverb. It means 'also' or 'excessively'. Example: "She finished the race too." (also) or "It was too cold to go outside." (excessively).
- 'To' is typically a preposition. It indicates direction, purpose, or relationship. Example: "He went to the park." or "It's time to study."
In the phrase used in the sentence, we are introducing the context of surprise. The correct idiomatic expression is "To my surprise", where 'To' acts as a preposition. The word 'Too' is misplaced here.
Therefore, the error lies in the use of 'Too' instead of 'To' in Part (A).
Corrected Sentence Example
The grammatically correct version of the sentence is: "To my surprise, I saw two strangers coming out of my house."
Final Error Identification
Based on the analysis, the error is present in Part (A).
