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.
