Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence may have some errors. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If the sentence is free from error, select "No error".
The police asked us (1) / about our movements (2) / on a night of the crime. (3) / No error (4)
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.
The article "a" before crime should be replaced with "the" to make the sentence grammatically accurate. The night of the crime is a specific reference to the particular night in question, and in such cases, the article "the" must be used.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The police asked us about our movements on the night of the crime."
