    Question

    Parts of the following sentence have been given as options. Select the option that contains an error.
    I couldn’t hear your voice as you were too far out from me.

    A.

    I couldn’t hear

    B.

    far out from me

    C.

    your voice as

    D.

    you were too

    Correct option is B


    The segment that contains an error is (b) "far out from me." The correct phrase should be "far away from me" to properly convey distance in this context.
    · The preposition "out" is typically not used to describe simple physical distance between people or objects. The phrase "far out" could imply something is at a great distance, but in the context of hearing someone's voice, "far away" is the appropriate term.
    · Grammatical rule used: Appropriate use of prepositions to describe distance.
    · Example: He was sitting far away from me, so I couldn't hear him well.
