Identify the part of the sentence that contains a grammatical error. The movie, which you recommended, was both interesting and entertain.
and entertain.
The sentence is tested for grammatical parallelism, so the first step is to locate the structure that forces two words into the same grammatical class.
The framework here is the correlative pair 'both ... and'. Correlatives are paired connectors (both/and, either/or, neither/nor, not only/but also) that must join two elements of exactly the same form: adjective with adjective, noun with noun, verb with verb.
After 'both' the sentence places 'interesting', which is an adjective describing 'the movie'. By the parallelism rule, whatever follows 'and' must also be an adjective.
Part D supplies 'entertain', which is a base-form verb meaning to amuse. Pairing an adjective ('interesting') with a verb ('entertain') breaks the required balance of the correlative structure.
The fix is to convert the verb into its adjectival participle, 'entertaining', giving the balanced phrase 'both interesting and entertaining' where both slots hold adjectives.
Checking the other parts: 'The movie' is a correct noun subject, 'which you recommended' is a well-formed relative clause modifying the movie, and 'was both interesting' correctly begins the correlative pair, so none of these carries the error.
The whole error therefore sits in the final part, where the wrong word class defeats the parallelism.
Hence the part that contains the grammatical error is and entertain.
