    Question

    Identify the segment in the sentence which contains a grammatical error.
    And, indeed, there was hardly picture in Rome I was unable to reattribute to its rightful owner.

    A.

    And, indeed, there was

    B.

    to reattribute to its rightful owner.

    C.

    No error

    D.

    hardly picture in Rome I was unable

    Correct option is D

    Option (d) contains an error.
    Explanation: The article “a” is missing before "picture", and "hardly" is misused. It should be “hardly any picture” to make the meaning clear.
    Correct sentence: And, indeed, there was hardly any picture in Rome I was unable to reattribute to its rightful owner.
    Grammatical rule used:
    · Countable singular nouns require a determiner such as "a" or "any".
    · "Hardly" is a negative adverb, and must be followed by "any" in such constructs.
