Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence have errors, and some are correct. Find out which part of the sentence has an error. The number of that part is the answer. If a sentence is error-free, your answer is "No Error".
I used (1)/ a pair of trousers (2)/ for a week. (3)/ No Error (4)
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 1
Solution : The error lies in the first part of the sentence.
The word "used" suggests a past action but doesn’t convey the habitual nature of the action. For habitual actions, we commonly use the simple present tense. In this context, to denote a habitual action, the simple present tense would be more suitable.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "I use a pair of trousers for a week."
