The following sentence has been divided into parts. One of them contains a grammatical error. Select the part that contains the error from the given options.
I cannot find / the book everywhere / in the house; / it seems to have disappeared.

Correct option is D

Option (d) "the book everywhere" contains the grammatical error.
Explanation:
The adverb “everywhere” is incorrectly used here. The phrase “find the book everywhere” implies the book has been found in all places, which contradicts the actual intent. The intended meaning is that the speaker searched everywhere but couldn't find the book. So, the sentence should use “ anywhere” instead of “everywhere” to reflect a negative context.
Correct sentence: I cannot find the book anywhere in the house; it seems to have disappeared.
Grammatical rule used: In negative constructions, words like “anywhere” are used instead of “everywhere” to match the tone of negation (as seen in “cannot find”).
✦ Explanation in Hindi:
Negative वाक्यों में “anywhere” का प्रयोग किया जाता है न कि “everywhere” का। जैसे कि “I cannot find the book anywhere” सही होगा।
Example:
I looked everywhere but couldn’t find my keys.
I can't find my pen anywhere. ✅
