The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains an error.
"The committee requested / the Chief Investigator / to personally / look after the matter."

Correct option is A

Option (a) contains an error.
The error was the usage of the phrasal verb "look after" when "look into" would have been more appropriate.
Original Sentence:
"The committee requested the Chief Investigator to personally look after the matter."
Error:
· Phrasal Verb Used: "look after"
· Meaning of "look after": This phrasal verb generally means to take care of or to supervise in a protective or nurturing manner. It is commonly used in contexts where physical care, maintenance, or guardianship is involved, such as looking after a child, an elderly person, or a place.
Why It's Incorrect:
· Context Mismatch: The phrase "look after the matter" suggests a caretaking role, which is not typical language for discussing investigations or evaluations in a professional or formal context such as that implied by a committee directive to a Chief Investigator.
Correct Usage:
· Phrasal Verb Needed: "look into"
· Meaning of "look into": This phrasal verb means to investigate, examine, or inquire into. It is appropriate for use in contexts where information needs to be gathered, or an issue needs to be analyzed or resolved.
Revised Sentence:
"The committee requested the Chief Investigator to personally look into the matter."
