    The sentence below has been divided into three parts. Select the part of the sentence that has an error.

    A.

    B.

    A graduate of the University of Cincinnati, Stewart holds

    C.

    a MBA in finance and international business.

    D.

    a bachelor's degree in German studies and

    Correct option is C

    Option (c) contains an error.
    Error: The article “a” before “MBA” is incorrect. Since “MBA” starts with a vowel sound (‘em’), the correct article should be “an”.
    Correct sentence: A graduate of the University of Cincinnati, Stewart holds a bachelor's degree in German studies and an MBA in finance and international business.
    Grammatical rule used:
    Use “an” before words that start with a vowel sound, not just a vowel letter.
    Example:
    · She is an honest person.
    · He got an MBA from Harvard.
    · �� Grammar Booster:
    · Words starting with a silent consonant (like "honest", "hour") or vowel sounds (like “MBA”) take "an".
