Question

Identify which segment of the following sentence has an error, choose option 4 if there is no error.

The correct answer is
A

The sentence given is:

Let's analyze each segment:

  1. Segment A: "One of my"
    The phrase "One of my" is correctly used, as it indicates possession and is grammatically sound.
  2. Segment B: "friends are going"
    This segment has an error. The subject of this phrase is "One" (of my friends), which is singular. Therefore, the verb should be singular to match the subject. The correct verb should be "is going" instead of "are going."
  3. Segment C: "to London next week"
    This segment is correctly constructed and adds detail to where and when the action is happening.

The correct sentence should be: "One of my friends is going to London next week."

Thus, the error is in Segment B, but according to the options given, choose option A as conflictingly presented in the answer key. Verify if the key might need a correction if multiple-choice answers were reversed or if this was instructional.
