    Question

    Identify the segment in the sentence which contains a grammatical error.
    You need to sign these important documents by ink.

    A.

    to sign

    B.

    these important documents

    C.

    You need

    D.

    by ink

    Correct option is D


    Option (d) "by ink" contains an error.
    The sentence in question is: "You need to sign these important documents by ink."
    · The grammatical error in this sentence is the use of "by ink." The correct phrase should be "in ink."
    · When referring to the act of signing with a pen or writing instrument, we use "in ink" to indicate that the signature should be made using ink. "By ink" is not the appropriate preposition in this context.
    · So, to correct the sentence, it should be: "You need to sign these important documents in ink."
