    Question

    Identify the segment in the sentence which contains a grammatical error.
    Mona took a little time to thought before she gave her consent to the proposal.

    A.

    before she gave her consent

    B.

    Mona took a little

    C.

    time for thought

    D.

    to the proposal

    Correct option is C

    Option (c) contains an error.
    · The phrase "time for thought" is incorrect. The correct phrase should be "time to think." The verb "thought" is the past tense of "think" and is not appropriate in this context, which requires the base form of the verb after "to" for an infinitive construction.
    · Grammatical rule used: After certain verbs, such as "took," the infinitive form of the verb (to + base form) is used to indicate the purpose or action. "To think" is the correct infinitive form in this context.
    · Example: "She took a moment to think before answering the question." Here, "to think" correctly follows the verb "took."
