    Question

    Parts of the following sentence have been given as options. Select the option that contains an error.
    The constitutional lawyer argued persuasively and with surgical precision, dismantling the opposition's case piece by logic piece.

    A.

    The constitutional lawyer argued persuasively

    B.

    piece by logic piece

    C.

    dismantling the opposition's case

    D.

    and with surgical precision

    Correct option is B

    Option (b) contains the error.
    Correct phrase: "piece by logical piece"
    Explanation: The phrase "piece by logic piece" is grammatically incorrect as "logic" is a noun, but here we need an adjective to modify "piece".
    ✔ The correct usage is "piece by logical piece".
    Grammatical Rule: Adjectives modify nouns. When a noun like "piece" is being described, an adjective like "logical" should be used.
    Example: She solved the puzzle step by careful step.
    �� Information Booster: Nouns must be modified by appropriate adjectives, not by other nouns directly unless forming compound nouns.
