    Question

    The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
    She received / an award / for her work / in a engineering field.

    A.

    in a engineering field.

    B.

    an award

    C.

    She received

    D.

    for her work

    Correct option is A

    Option (a) contains an error.
    The error lies in the incorrect use of the article 'a' before the word 'engineering.' Since 'engineering' starts with a vowel sound, the correct article should be 'an' instead of 'a.'
    · Correct sentence: She received an award for her work in an engineering field.
    · Grammatical rule used: Use 'an' before words that start with a vowel sound, and 'a' before words that start with a consonant sound.
    · Example: She is an artist. He is a doctor.
