    Question

    The following sentence has been divided into five segments. The first segment has no error. Select the option that has the segment with the grammatical error.
    "They decided to / consult a lawyer / as soon as they / reach their / home town."

    A.

    consult a lawyer

    B.

    as soon as they

    C.

    reach their

    D.

    home town

    Correct option is C


    Explanation of the Correct Answer:
    · The error is in "reach their."
    · The phrase "as soon as they" suggests a future event that must be expressed in the past or future tense to match the sentence structure.
    · Instead of "reach their," the correct form should be "reached their" or "would reach their" depending on the intended meaning.
    Corrected Sentence:
    "They decided to consult a lawyer as soon as they reached their hometown."
    Other options:
    · (a) "consult a lawyer" → Correct because "consult" is the right verb for seeking legal advice.
    · (b) "as soon as they" → Correct phrase to indicate immediate action after another event.
    · (d) "home town" → Correct spelling and placement.
    Thus, the correct answer is (c) "reach their."
