    Question

    The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
    He is / an expert / in / an English literature.

    A.

    an English literature

    B.

    in

    C.

    an expert

    D.

    He is

    Correct option is A

    Option (a) contains an error.
    · The phrase "an English literature" is incorrect because "literature" is an uncountable noun and does not require an article ( an or a).
    · The correct phrase should be "English literature" without any article.
    Grammatical rule used:
    · Uncountable nouns like literature, information, advice, furniture do not take indefinite articles ( a/an).
    · Example: ❌ She is studying an mathematics. → ✅ She is studying mathematics.
