    Question

    Identify the segment in the sentence that contains a grammatical error.
    She said that it was 4 o’clock on her watch when she entered.

    A.

    when she entered

    B.

    She said that

    C.

    it was 4 o’clock

    D.

    on her watch

    Correct option is D


    The incorrect segment is "on her watch."
    Explanation:
    · The correct phrase should be "by her watch" instead of "on her watch."
    · The phrase "by one's watch" means "according to the time shown on the watch."
    Correct Sentence: She said that it was 4 o’clock by her watch when she entered.
    Grammatical Rule Used:
    · "By one's watch" is the correct phrase used when referring to the time displayed on a watch.
    · "On one's watch" is incorrect in this context as it suggests something physically placed on the watch.
    Explanation in Hindi:
    · "By one's watch" का उपयोग तब किया जाता है जब हम किसी घड़ी में दिखाए गए समय की बात कर रहे हों।
    · "On one's watch" का अर्थ होता है किसी चीज़ का घड़ी पर मौजूद होना, जो यहाँ गलत है।
    · सही वाक्य: "It was 4 o’clock by her watch when she entered."
