Question

The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
The flat up / is full of / an awful lot / of junk.

A.

of junk

B.

is full of

C.

an awful lot

D.

The flat up

Correct option is D

Option (d) contains an error.
Explanation: The phrase “The flat up” is incorrect in standard word order. It should be “The flat up there” or “The flat above”. The preposition "up" cannot stand alone like this.
Grammatical rule used: Prepositions must always be followed by an object or complement to complete their meaning.
Example: ✅ I live up the street. ❌ I live up.
�� Information Booster: Prepositions like "up", "over", "under" require contextual completion (e.g., up the hill, over the bridge).
