    Question

    The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
    Arpit and Barkha went /for Zumba / classes these / days.

    A.

    for Zumba

    B.

    Arpit and Barkha went

    C.

    classes these

    D.

    days

    Correct option is B

    Option (b) contains an error.
    Original Incorrect Sentence: "Arpit and Barkha went / for Zumba / classes these / days."
    Grammatically Correct Sentence: "Arpit and Barkha go for Zumba classes these days."
    The correction should involve:
    1. Changing the tense from "went" to "go" to reflect a habitual action (implied by "these days").
    2. Adjusting the order and placement of words to "go for Zumba classes these days."
    Grammatical rule used:
    · Verb tense should reflect the regularity or habit of an action, especially when indicated by time expressions like "these days."
    · Correct syntactical order of words in a sentence is crucial for clarity and accuracy.
    Example: They often go for yoga classes early in the morning.
    The adjustment to "go" instead of "went" aligns with the ongoing or habitual nature of the activity being described, which is commonly expressed in the present simple tense.
