Find out which part of the sentence has an error. If there is no error, choose ‘No error’.
The children at my cousin’s wedding / all said that they / preferred ice cream than hot gulab jamun.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → preferred ice cream than hot gulab jamun
The sentence says “preferred ice cream than hot gulab jamun”. This is wrong. When “prefer” compares two things, the second thing comes after to, not “than”. So it must be preferred ice cream to hot gulab jamun.
Option 1: The children at my cousin’s wedding — No error.
Option 2: all said that they — No error.
Option 3: preferred ice cream than hot gulab jamun — Error. “than” should be “to”.
Corrected: The children at my cousin’s wedding all said that they preferred ice cream to hot gulab jamun.
