Parts of the following sentence are given as options. Identify the part that contains a grammatical error.
My younger brother Kunal / loves fixing old radios / and says that he / wants to become engineer.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → wants to become engineer
An article is missing in “wants to become engineer”. When we name a job after “become” or “is”, a singular countable noun needs “a” or “an” before it. “Engineer” begins with a vowel sound, so it must be become an engineer.
Option 1: My younger brother Kunal — No error.
Option 2: loves fixing old radios — No error. “Love” can be followed by the -ing form, so “loves fixing” is right.
Option 3: and says that he — No error.
Option 4: wants to become engineer — Error. “become engineer” should be “become an engineer”.
Corrected: My younger brother Kunal loves fixing old radios and says that he wants to become an engineer.
