    Question


    The following sentence has been divided into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
    The manager noticed / that Pragya / was first to reach / the office on Saturday.

    A.

    that Pragya

    B.

    was first to reach

    C.

    The manager noticed

    D.

    the office on Saturday.

    Correct option is B


    Explanation:
    The article “the” is missing before “first”. With ordinal numbers (like first, second, etc.), we always use “the”.
    Correct Sentence:
    ...that Pragya was the first to reach the office on Saturday.
    Grammar Rule:
    Use “the” before ordinal numbers.
    He was the first to arrive.
