Question : Identify the segment in the sentence which contains a grammatical error.
He thinks that he can get away among lying and cheating.
Option 1: among lying
Option 2: he can get away
Option 3: He thinks that
Option 4: and cheating
Correct Answer: among lying
Solution : The error lies in the first option.
The preposition among is not suitable in this context. The correct preposition to use here is with. The phrase get away with is an idiomatic expression, and in this context, with is the correct preposition to convey the idea of avoiding punishment or detection for lying and cheating.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: He thinks that he can get away with lying and cheating.
