Sentence Parts Analysis

This question asks us to examine a sentence broken down into four parts (P, Q, R, S) and identify which part contains a grammatical error, or if there is no error at all.

The sentence presented is:

  • The house (P)
  • was built (Q)
  • very attractively. (R)
  • No error (S)

Grammar Check: Sentence Components

Let's analyze each part of the sentence to check for grammatical correctness:

Part P: The house

This part introduces the subject of the sentence, "The house". It is a singular noun phrase and is correctly structured as the subject.

Part Q: was built

This part forms the verb phrase. "Built" is the past participle of the verb "to build". The phrase "was built" correctly uses the past simple passive voice for the singular subject "The house". This construction is grammatically sound.

Part R: very attractively

This part contains an adverbial phrase. "Attractively" is an adverb correctly modifying the verb "was built", indicating the manner in which the house was constructed. The adverb "very" modifies "attractively", intensifying its meaning. The placement and usage of these adverbs are appropriate and follow standard English grammar rules.

Identifying No Error

Since parts P, Q, and R are all grammatically correct and form a coherent, well-structured sentence ("The house was built very attractively."), there is no error within the sentence itself.

Therefore, the correct option is S, indicating that there is "No error" in the sentence.
