Question : The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.

I had walked / for most of the day / to Kanpur and then / get on the train by Mumbai.

Option 2: to Kanpur and then

Option 3: get on the train by Mumbai.

Option 4: for most of the day

Team Careers360 · Accepted Answer

Correct Answer: get on the train by Mumbai.

Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Explanation: The error lies in the use of "get" instead of the past tense "got", and the preposition "by" is inappropriate; it should be replaced with "to" to correctly convey the intended action. This ensures proper verb tense consistency and preposition usage in the sentence.

So, the correct sentence would be: "I had walked for most of the day to Kanpur and then got on the train to Mumbai."
