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.
