Question

Select the sentence that has a grammatical error.

A.

It was a huge zoo with an elephant enclosure.

B.

He was an honest engineer by profession.

C.

Alka bought new pair of shoes for the party.

D.

Suhas has a younger brother and an elder sister.

Correct option is C

Option (c) contains an error.
· The phrase "new pair of shoes" is incorrect because the article "a" should be used before "pair" to indicate a single unit.
· The correct sentence should be: "Alka bought a new pair of shoes for the party."
Grammatical rule used:
· When referring to a pair (such as shoes, pants, or glasses), the correct structure is "a pair of", not "new pair of" without an article.
· Example: "I bought a pair of gloves for the winter."
