Identify the errors in the given sentence and choose the sentence that rectifies these errors. I want my son to be pharmacist and my husband wants him to be a engineer. He wishes to be architect.
The original sentence contains several errors related to the use of articles and the capitalization of nouns. Let's analyze each error and how the correct option addresses them:
- "pharmacist" and "engineer" should be preceded by "a": The words "pharmacist" and "engineer" are singular, countable nouns, thus requiring the indefinite article "a" before them. The original sentence is missing these articles, making it grammatically incorrect.
- "architect" should also be preceded by "an": Similar to the previous point, "architect" needs the indefinite article "an" because it starts with a vowel sound.
- Capitalization of nouns: While not strictly grammatical, the capitalization of "pharmacist," "engineer," and "architect" after the verb "to be" is inconsistent and should be lowercased for correct style.
Option 2 correctly addresses all these errors. The sentence "I want my son to be a pharmacist and my husband wants him to be an engineer. He wishes to be an architect" is grammatically correct and stylistically sound. This option uses "a" before "pharmacist" and "engineer" and "an" before "architect." It maintains correct capitalization throughout.
The other options fail to correct all the mistakes; therefore, Option 2 is the only grammatically correct and stylistically appropriate choice.
