    Question

    Identify the error in the given sentence and select the option that correctly rectifies the error.
    The day is longer than year on Venus.

    A.

    A day is longer than the year on Venus.

    B.

    A day is longer than a year on Venus.

    C.

    All day is longer than a year on Venus.

    D.

    Day is longer than the year on Venus.

    Correct option is B

    The correct sentence is "A day is longer than a year on Venus."
    · Error: The sentence "The day is longer than year on Venus" is incorrect because:
    1. "The day" is too general; instead, "A day" is preferred when talking about a general fact.
    2. "Year" is missing an article. It should be "a year" to specify any single year on Venus.
    Grammatical rule used:
    · "A" is used for singular non-specific nouns.
    · "The" is used for something specific or previously mentioned.
    · When comparing time periods, we usually generalize with "a day" and "a year."
    Correct sentence:
    A day is longer than a year on Venus.
    Example:
    ❌ Incorrect: The moon orbits Earth in the month.
    ✔ Correct: The moon orbits Earth in a month.
