Question : The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
During an earthquake, / it is advised to take / cover above a table / to save your life.
Option 1: cover above a table
Option 2: During an earthquake,
Option 3: it is advised to take
Option 4: to save your life.
Correct Answer: cover above a table
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
The sentence advises taking cover during an earthquake, and the usual safety recommendation is to take cover under a table. The preposition "under" indicates a position beneath the table, providing protection. Using "above" suggests being on top of the table, which is not the recommended safety measure during an earthquake.
So, the correct sentence is: During an earthquake, it is advised to take cover under a table to save your life.
