    Question

    Identify the segment with a grammatical error.
    She learnt / how to play a piano / when she was in Class 6th.

    A.

    how to play a piano

    B.

    She learnt

    C.

    when she was in Class 6th.

    D.

    No error

    Correct option is A

    The error is in option (a) "how to play a piano."
    · The article "a" should not be used before "piano" because musical instruments generally take the definite article "the" in such contexts.
    · The correct phrase should be: "how to play the piano."
    Grammatical Rule Used:
    · When referring to musical instruments in a general sense, use "the" instead of "a" (e.g., "She plays the violin beautifully.").
    Example:
    Incorrect: "He knows how to play a guitar."
    Correct: "He knows how to play the guitar."
    Thus, the correct sentence is: "She learnt how to play the piano when she was in Class 6th."
