Question : Identify the segment in the sentence which contains a grammatical error.
There was enough evidence to convict him on selling of fake medicines.
Option 1: to convict him
Option 2: fake medicines
Option 3: on selling of
Option 4: There was enough evidence
Correct Answer: on selling of
Solution : The correct choice is the third option .
In the given sentence, the phrase "on selling of" is incorrect. The correct usage should involve the noun form "sale" rather than the gerund "selling". Also, "of" is used to indicate possession or connection, typically with nouns, not gerunds.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "There was enough evidence to convict him on the sale of fake medicines."
