Parts of the following sentence have been given as options. Select the option that contains a grammatical error.
We were grateful for a book they gave us.
- Agrateful for
- Bthey gave us
- CWe were
- Da book
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
The indefinite article "a" in the phrase "a book" is incorrect because the book is specified by the adjective clause "they gave us". Since it refers to a particular, definite book, the definite article "the" must be used instead of "a". The correct sentence is: "We were grateful for the book they gave us."
