Identify the segment in the sentence that contains a grammatical error: 'The committee will (A) neither penalise the students (B) nor reward them (C) for their actions, (D) regardless to the circumstances.'
(D) regardless to
Examine each underlined segment:
(A) 'neither penalise' — correct part of the 'neither ... nor' correlative.
(B) 'nor reward' — correct continuation of the correlative.
(C) 'for their actions' — idiomatic and correct.
(D) 'regardless to' — incorrect. The correct preposition is 'of'; the standard phrase is 'regardless of' the circumstances.
('Regardless of' means 'without consideration for'; 'regardless to' is non-standard.)
Hence, the segment containing the error is (D) regardless to.
