Read the sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical or idiomatic error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The corresponding letter of that part is the answer. If the given sentence is correct as it is, then choose option ‘No error’ as the answer response. (Ignore errors of punctuation, if any).

To preparation for the event, (A)/ she was at the Miramar beach (B)/ at 5am yesterday to get (C)/ her hands on fresh mackerel. (D)

Correct option is A

Correct Answer: (a) A
Explanation:
The sentence reads:
"To preparation for the event, she was at the Miramar beach at 5am yesterday to get her hands on fresh mackerel."
· The error lies in A, where "To preparation" is incorrect.
· The correct phrase should be "In preparation" to fit the context.
· "In preparation" is the correct idiomatic expression for getting ready for an event.
Corrected Sentence:
"In preparation for the event, she was at the Miramar beach at 5am yesterday to get her hands on fresh mackerel."
Why the other options are incorrect:
· (b) B: No error; "she was at the Miramar beach" is correct.
· (c) C: No error; "at 5am yesterday to get" is appropriate.
· (d) D: No error; "her hands on fresh mackerel" is grammatically and contextually correct.
Thus, the error is in A.
