    Question

    The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
    My sister Mona / never drinks coffee; / she prefer tea / in the morning.

    A.

    she prefer tea

    B.

    in the morning

    C.

    My sister Mona

    D.

    never drinks coffee;

    Correct option is A


    The segment containing an error is "she prefer tea".
    Correct sentence: She prefers tea in the morning.
    Explanation:
    · "She" is a singular subject, so the verb must be in the third-person singular form.
    · The correct form of the verb "prefer" in the present simple tense for "she" is "prefers" (not "prefer").
    Grammatical rule used:
    · In the present simple tense, singular subjects (he, she, it) take verbs with "-s" or "-es" (e.g., she prefers, he eats).
    Example:
    · Incorrect: He like coffee.
    · Correct: He likes coffee.
    Meanings of other segments:
    · "My sister Mona" (correct, subject of the sentence).
    · "never drinks coffee;" (correct, verb in the correct form).
    · "in the morning." (correct, adverbial phrase).
