    Question

    The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
    You have said that, / as he took money from you many times, / he owes you / five thousand rupees all together.

    A.

    he owes you

    B.

    five thousand rupees all together

    C.

    You have said that,

    D.

    as he took money from you many times,

    Correct option is B

    Option (b) contains an error.
    · The phrase "all together" is incorrect in this context. The correct phrase should be "altogether".
    · "All together" means "all in one place" or "all at once," while "altogether" means "completely" or "in total."
    · Here, the sentence is referring to a total amount, so "altogether" is the correct choice.
    Grammatical rule used:
    · "All together" refers to a group being together in one place, whereas "altogether" means "entirely" or "in total."
    · Example:
    · We paid all together five thousand rupees.
    · We paid altogether five thousand rupees.
