Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The sentence "He swam to an island that was not far away." is grammatically sound.
Part A: "He swam to" is correct (verb 'swam' followed by preposition of direction 'to').

Part B: "an island that" is correct ('an' is used before a vowel sound, and 'that' acts as a relative pronoun).

Part C: "was not far away" is correctly structured in the past tense to maintain sequence with 'swam'.

Therefore, there is no error in the sentence.
