    Question

    Identify the segment in the sentence which contains a grammatical error.
    The farmers are using HYV seeds so then they can get a better yield.

    A.

    The farmers are using

    B.

    so then they can get

    C.

    HYV seeds

    D.

    a better yield

    Correct option is B

    The segment in the sentence "The farmers are using HYV seeds so then they can get a better yield" that contains a grammatical error is (b) "so then they can get."

    • Explanation: The correct phrase should be "so that they can get." The word "then" is incorrect in this context, as it suggests a sequence of events rather than purpose. The phrase "so that" is used to express the purpose or reason for something.
    • Corrected Sentence: "The farmers are using HYV seeds so that they can get a better yield."

    This correction ensures that the sentence properly conveys the intended meaning of purpose, making it grammatically correct.
