Being a very cold I could not go out for a morning walk.
(1) for a morning walk
(2) No Error
(3) Being a very cold
(4) I could not go out
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The error is the third option, " being very cold."
The phrase "being a very cold day" is a participle phrase. It modifies the subject "it." It tells us why the speaker couldn't go for a morning walk.
The use of the adjective ' cold' without a noun being modified is grammatically incorrect, and hence it should be followed by 'day' .
Therefore, the correct sentence is, " It being a very cold da y , I could not go out for a morning walk."
