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.
