    Question

    The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
    I do not like / your paying / for the food / every time.

    A.

    every time

    B.

    for the food

    C.

    your paying

    D.

    I do not like

    Correct option is C

    The correct segment that contains a grammatical error is “your paying.”
    Error identification: The correct structure should be "you paying," not "your paying." Using "your" as a possessive before a gerund ("paying") is incorrect in this context.
    Grammatical Rule used: In this case, the gerund should follow the pronoun "you" without the possessive form to make the sentence more natural.
    Corrected sentence: I do not like you paying for the food every time.
