Question

The sentence below has been divided into three parts. Select the part that has an error.
In what turned out to be thrilling finish, the home team finally came out on top and won the game.

A.

In what turned out to be thrilling

B.

out on top and won the game.

C.

No error

D.

finish, the home team finally came

Correct option is A

Option (a) contains an error.
Error Explanation: The phrase should be “ a thrilling finish,” not just “thrilling finish.” The article ‘a’ is missing before the singular countable noun “finish.”
Correct phrase: In what turned out to be a thrilling finish
Grammatical rule used:
· Singular countable nouns must be preceded by an article (a, an, the) unless modified by other determiners.
· Example: It was a great match. NOT "It was great match."
· Information booster: Article omission errors are frequently tested in exams, especially before singular nouns and adjectives.
