Question

The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
They will go to bed early since they have to get up at five on the morning.

A.

have to get up

B.

at five on the morning.

C.

They will go to bed

D.

early since they

Correct option is B

The segment that contains a grammatical error is option (b) "at five on the morning".
 The error is in the use of the preposition "on" instead of "in". "In" is used to refer to a particular time of day, while "on" is used to refer to days or dates.
 Since we are referring to a specific time of day (five o'clock in the morning), "in" should be used instead of "on".
So, the corrected sentence would be:
"They will go to bed early since they have to get up at five in the morning."
