    Question

    Identify the segment in the sentence that contains a grammatical error.
    I was fully convinced that she did not believe a word of that I had said.

    A.

    I was fully convinced

    B.

    of that I had said

    C.

    that she did not

    D.

    believe a word

    Correct option is B


    The segment containing the grammatical error is "of that I had said."
    · The phrase "of that I had said" is incorrect because "that" is an incorrect relative pronoun in this context.
    · The correct phrase should be "of what I had said."
    Correct Sentence: I was fully convinced that she did not believe a word of what I had said.
    Grammatical Rule Used:
    · "What" is used as a relative pronoun to refer to something previously mentioned ( the words that were said).
    · "That" is incorrect in this case because it does not function as a noun referring to previous statements.
    Explanation in Hindi:
    गलत: "of that I had said."
    सही: "of what I had said."
    · "What" का प्रयोग किसी चीज़ को संदर्भित करने के लिए किया जाता है, जैसे कि "जो कुछ मैंने कहा।"
    · "That" यहाँ उपयुक्त नहीं है क्योंकि यह आवश्यक संदर्भ प्रदान नहीं करता।
