Question

The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error. The society / of the / our place / is good.

• A. is good
• B. our place
• C. The society
• D. of the

Answer 1

Answer:

D. of the

• The phrase "of the our place" is grammatically redundant. The Problem: You cannot use a definite article ("the") and a possessive adjective ("our") back-to-back before the same noun. The Rule: Both "the" and "our" are determiners. In English, we generally use only one determiner to introduce a noun. Using both creates a "double determiner" error. The Fix: Simply remove the word "the." Correct Sentence: "The society of our place is good."
