Question

Identify the segment in the sentence which contains a grammatical error.
It is often said that the way to the man heart is through his stomach.

A.

through his stomach.

B.

that the way to

C.

the man heart

D.

It is often said

Correct option is C

Option (c) contains an error.
Explanation of error:
The correct phrase should be: “the man’s heart” (possessive form).
“The man heart” is incorrect as it lacks the possessive marker.
The noun “heart” needs a possessive noun: man’s.
Grammatical rule used:
Use the possessive form (with apostrophe-‘s’) to show ownership or relation.
Example:
Incorrect: The teacher book
Correct: The teacher’s book
Booster Tip:
When a noun owns another noun, use apostrophe + s (John’s house, girl’s voice, man’s heart).
