Choose the sentence in which the article is used incorrectly:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Our school trekking club spent a week exploring Aravallis near Alwar.
“The” before a range of mountains:
The given sentence says “exploring Aravallis”. This is wrong. “Aravallis” is the name of a range of mountains, not of one single peak. The name of a mountain range always takes “the” before it.
Corrected: Our school trekking club spent a week exploring the Aravallis near Alwar.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 2: Riya practises the veena every evening after school. This sentence is correct. A musical instrument that someone plays or practises takes “the” before it.
Option 3: Chess teaches young children to plan their moves carefully. This sentence is correct. The names of games and sports take no article.
Option 4: Diwali falls in November this year. This sentence is correct. The names of festivals and months take no article.
