Question : Parts of the following sentence have been given as options. Select the option that contains a grammatical error. If you don’t find any error, mark ‘No Error’ as your answer.
I am having trouble / deciding in / a gift for them. / No Error
Option 1: a gift for them.
Option 2: No Error
Option 3: I am having trouble
Option 4: deciding in
Correct Answer: deciding in
Solution : The error lies in the fourth option.
The phrase deciding in is not grammatically correct. The correct phrasing should be deciding on or deciding upon. So, the error lies in the choice of preposition. Deciding on or deciding upon means choosing or making a decision regarding a particular option or course of action.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "I am having trouble deciding on a gift for them."
