The sentence below has been divided into three parts. Select the part of the sentence that has an error.
As noon approached, sunlight filtered/ through an branches, casting dappled/ patterns on the cobblestone path.

Correct option is D

Option (d) contains an error.
The article “an” is incorrectly used before the word “branches.” “Branches” is a plural noun, and “an” is used before singular nouns starting with a vowel sound.
Correct sentence: “through the branches, casting dappled...”
Grammatical rule used: Use “a” or “an” before singular, countable nouns. Use “the” before plural or specific nouns.
Example: He walked through the trees, not an trees.
�� Information Booster: "An" is only used before singular nouns starting with a vowel sound, e.g., an apple, an hour, but not before plural nouns like branches, apples.
