Question : Identify the segment in the sentence which contains a grammatical error. Sam took a little time to thought before he replied.
Option 1: a little time
Option 2: to thought
Option 3: Sam took
Option 4: before he replied
Correct Answer: to thought
Solution : The error lies in the second option.
Explanation: The correct verb form to use after to in this context is the past tense of think, which is thought. However, the sentence requires the infinitive form after to, so the correction involves changing to thought to, to think.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "Sam took a little time to think before he replied."
