Identify the error in the following sentence.
He was not able to concentrate because of the continual music being played next door.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) - because of the continual music
- "Continual" refers to something that happens repeatedly with interruptions, while "continuous" refers to something that happens without any breaks.
- Music being played next door would likely be continuous (without breaks), not continual.
- He was not able to concentrate because of the continuous music being played next door.
