Question

Parts of the following sentence have been given as options. Select the option that contains an error.
We had dinner in a Chinese restaurant and were amazed to see the interior of a restaurant.

A.

and were amazed to see

B.

the interior of a restaurant

C.

We had dinner

D.

in a Chinese restaurant

Correct option is B

Option (b) contains an error.
Explanation:
· The phrase the interior of a restaurant is redundant because the context already specifies a Chinese restaurant. Instead, it should be written as the interior of the restaurant to refer back to the specific restaurant mentioned earlier.
Corrected Sentence:
We had dinner in a Chinese restaurant and were amazed to see the interior of the restaurant.
Grammatical rule used:
· Articles such as the are used for specific nouns already mentioned or known to the speaker and listener. Repeating a restaurant after specifying a Chinese restaurant creates redundancy.
