    Question

    Parts of the following sentences have been given as options. Select the option that contains a grammatical error.
    Mr. Prabhakar was first man to arrive at the venue.

    A.

    was first man

    B.

    Mr. Prabhakar

    C.

    to arrive

    D.

    at the venue

    Correct option is A


    The segment "was first man" (Option a) contains a grammatical error.
    The phrase "was first man" is incorrect because it is missing the article "the" before "first man." The definite article "the" is required when referring to a specific noun (e.g., "the first man").
    Corrected Sentence: "Mr. Prabhakar was the first man to arrive at the venue."
    Grammatical Rule Used:
    · The definite article "the" is used with ordinal numbers like "first," "second," or "third" to specify a particular item or person.
    Explanation in Hindi:
    · "First" जैसे क्रमसूचक शब्दों से पहले "the" का प्रयोग किया जाता है क्योंकि यह एक विशेष व्यक्ति या वस्तु को दर्शाता है।
    Meanings of the other segments:
    · (b) Mr. Prabhakar: Correct, as it is a proper noun and does not require changes. (कोई त्रुटि नहीं)
    · (c) to arrive: Correct, as it is grammatically appropriate in this context. (कोई त्रुटि नहीं)
    · (d) at the venue: Correct, as it specifies the location properly. (कोई त्रुटि नहीं)
    Related Example:
    · Incorrect: She was first woman to finish the race.
    · Correct: She was the first woman to finish the race.
