    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."
