    Question

    The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains an error.
    Naira promise me / to show me how to / fish for salmon, / but he never had the time.

    A.

    Naira promise me

    B.

    fish for salmon,

    C.

    to show me how to

    D.

    but he never had the time.

    Correct option is A

    Option (a) contains a grammatical error.
    The error lies in the verb form "promise," which should be "promised" to correctly use the past tense, reflecting the completed action of making the promise.
    Grammatical rule used: Consistency in tense; past actions require past tense verbs.
    Example: She promised me that she would visit soon.
