Question

Parts of the following sentence have been given as options. Select the option that contains an error.
I have the hundred reasons to not attend the meeting tomorrow.

A.

I have the hundred reasons

B.

the meeting

C.

tomorrow

D.

to not attend

Correct option is A

Option (a) contains an error.
Explanation: The article "the" is incorrect here because "hundred reasons" is a general countable phrase, and it should use the indefinite article "a" instead.
"The" is used to specify something definite, which is not the case here.
Correct Sentence: I have a hundred reasons to not attend the meeting tomorrow.
Grammatical Rule: Indefinite articles ("a" or "an") are used with singular countable nouns when referring to something non-specific.
Articles ("a," "an," "the") are used to specify nouns.
· "The" is a definite article used to refer to something specific or previously mentioned.
· "A" or "an" are indefinite articles used for general reference.
When a specific numeral is used, an article is not required unless referring to a specific set of objects or reasons.
Example: She has a thousand ideas for her project.
