Identify the segment in the sentence which contains the grammatical error.

The cottage at the hill station didn’t have a DTH connection or telephone.

Answer

Correct Answer : c ) or telephone.

Explanation :

The error is in part c.

As per grammatical rules for articles, singular countable noun subjects take use of indefinite article ‘a/an’.

‘Telephone’ is a singular countable noun subject. Therefore, it will take use of ‘a’ because it has the sound of a consonant.

Hence, (c) is the correct answer.
