    Question

    Identify the segment in the sentence which contains the grammatical error.
    A Earth moves round the Sun.

    A.

    moves

    B.

    the Sun

    C.

    a Earth

    D.

    round

    Correct option is C


    Option (c) contains an error.
    Explanation:
    · The word “Earth” is a proper noun and refers to a unique object, so it should always be preceded by “the”, not “a”.
    · Correct usage: the Earth
    Grammatical Rule Used:
    Articles before unique things like the Earth, the Moon, the Sun → always “the”
    Never use “a” before proper nouns.
    Example:
    · The Earth is round.
