Identify the part of the sentence that contains an error.
Mummy always buys marigolds / from the old woman / which sits outside / the Hanuman temple on Tuesdays.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → which sits outside
“Which” is used for animals and things, but here it refers to “the old woman”. For a person, we use who. So it must be who sits outside.
Option 1: Mummy always buys marigolds — No error.
Option 2: from the old woman — No error.
Option 3: which sits outside — Error. “which” should be “who”.
Option 4: the Hanuman temple on Tuesdays — No error.
Corrected: Mummy always buys marigolds from the old woman who sits outside the Hanuman temple on Tuesdays.
