Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: the egg
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
The error in the original segment lies in the article used before "egg". The correct article is "an" instead of "the". This is because when referring to a singular, countable object like an egg in a general sense, we use the indefinite article "an" instead of "the".
Therefore, the corrected sentence is: "I ate an egg yesterday for my dinner."
