The sentence is divided into four segments: (A), (B), (C), and (D). Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error. If the sentence is both grammatically and contextually correct, select “No error” as the correct answer.

The dog chased the ball (A)/ into the street, (B)/ but it rolled too far (C)/ to being caught. (D)

Correct option is D

Sentence given:
The dog chased the ball (A)/ into the street, (B)/ but it rolled too far (C)/ to being caught. (D)
Step 1: Spot the error
Look at (D): “to being caught.”
· Rule: After “too + adjective/adverb + to”, the verb must be in its base form (infinitive), not a gerund (-ing form).
· Correct form: “too far to be caught.”
Step 2: Grammar rule
Infinitive Rule after "too ... to":
· Structure: too + adjective/adverb + to + base verb
· Example: The box is too heavy to lift. (not to lifting)
Step 3: Sentence structure
· Main clause: The dog chased the ball into the street
· Contrast clause: but it rolled too far to be caught.
Step 4: Corrected sentence
The dog chased the ball into the street, but it rolled too far to be caught.
Step 5: Example for clarity
Incorrect: She was too tired to going out.
Correct: She was too tired to go out.
