    Question

    Parts of the following sentence are given as options. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
    His family lives in Bihar but he works on a factory in Mumbai.

    A.

    His family lives

    B.

    in Mumbai

    C.

    but he works

    D.

    on a factory

    Correct option is D


    The segment of the sentence that contains a grammatical error is option (d) on a factory
    Explanation:
    · The correct preposition to use here is "in," not "on." The phrase should be "in a factory," as the preposition "in" is typically used when referring to working inside a building or place.
    · Corrected Sentence:
    "His family lives in Bihar, but he works in a factory in Mumbai."
    Grammatical Rule Involved:
    · Prepositions of Place:
    · "In": Used to describe being inside a place, such as a building, room, or enclosed area.
    · Correct Example: "She works in a hospital."
    · "On": Used to describe being on a surface or at a location, like "on a table" or "on a street," but not typically used for buildings or workplaces.
