Identify the segment of the sentence that contains a grammatical error. It actually / does take place / and the water on this area / is forbidden

Ais forbidden

Bdoes take place

Cand the water on this area

Dit actually

Answer:

C. and the water on this area

Read Explanation:

Corrected version:

"the water in this area"

The preposition "on" is incorrect here. When referring to something being within the boundaries of a place or area, we use "in", not "on".

  • "in this area" is correct because water exists within the area, not on its surface.

  • "on this area" implies something resting on top of an area, which doesn't apply to water being located within a geographic space.
